And, perhaps more importantly, they are using all of the monies to start getting their own foothold in other continents. IOW they are entering their own modern expansionist phase.

Liquibase supports plain sql files (just needs one comment for author at the start) and custom folder structures, so if you actually want to take it one step further, do check it out ;)

It could not only be great for documentation purposes but also actually help maintenance by making sure that all statements are executed in all environments
It's about sovereign interest, and if you rely on foreign assistance to run state, you are a vassal at best. Last time I checked, Russia is still holding onto annexed land in Ukraine, and there is a proxy war in Yemen, the Korean peninsula is prepared for a full blown conflict at any moment, hostilities between India and Pakistan, and on, and on, and on, and on. There are absolutely ambitious geopolitical interests at play willing to use brutal force as a means to obtain their goals at costs most people cannot comprehend. It's probably advantageous to have your own tech and verticals for building it domestically. I mean it's not like securing uranium deposits.
This makes sense. I never liked playing FPS games with people. Wolfenstein 3D was an exception because the people were pixelated nazis. Doom and Cube/Sauerbraten were also ok because the player killed monsters.

Microchip Corp. is an actual business. They make cool stuff like the PIC MCUs used for building useful things such as a HVAC thermostat. They're not General Atomics or Lockheed Martin who make drones used for killing people.
A video recording of the gatecrashing can be found here: https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-reporter-gatecrashes-e...

From the reflection on the screen being recorded in that video, it seems like it's being recorded inside the Europa building itself, right in the central council meeting room! I wonder who recorded it...
Many people have to adapt to working across different timezones in their jobs. Obviously to the degree that something like that becomes a continuous pattern you need to decide if it's worth it to you to adapt to that schedule or not. There's nothing inherently "ridiculous" about it. For example I have a friend in Hawaii who has an agency with West Coast clients and she just adapts her waking schedule accordingly.
These are notable, yes, and probably why the relative non-event "game has streamer mode" now gets a headline (maybe also due to relative popularity of Cyberpunk 2077? I don't know off-hand if it's been in as major titles before), even though it's something that has been a thing for a long time (because lots of the restrictions requiring it have been a thing for a long time, and thus weren't very present in news).

Most of what I like about SwiftUI is the syntax. I wonder if I'd be better off using Swift function builder syntax to build UI/NSView hierarchies and layout.
Thanks, I have not heard of AWS Lambda before. I was able to find some case studies on Amazon's website [1] describing practical uses in production. It seems the most common uses are processing user uploaded images/videos. I can definitely see cost savings here without significant platform lock-ins since they're probably just short functions running imagemagick/ffmepg.

You never heard about anyone being excited about any commercial product? Never heard about people learning about new product, and being happy about it?
Debian is well known to not be a democracy. This is a do-ocracy. Votes are very rare and, except for systemd (2 in 10 years), are quite non-technical. The second key aspect is that you can't force anyone to do anything. The third key aspect is the project is unable to reach any consensus (there is always someone to disagree and do enough noise for the discussion to go nowhere and we cannot vote).

Most of the points listed by Michael derive from that. It's impossible to change something. We can only do small things for which no cooperation is needed.
It really sounds quite workable as a solution, then. IIUC anyone in Debian could start work on this at any time, with really no disruption of the current system.

Of course the devil is in the details-- graphics drivers, bootstrapping, etc.
Thinking Like a Programmer Everyday Without Being a Programmer, Issue 1
Well I thought we were talking about getting ECC without major tradeoffs, to understand its [lack of] popularity.

And I wouldn't say faster memory is necessarily more error prone. But it doesn't really matter, because non-ECC products have to have extremely low error rates to be viable. Even if a speed is at the high end of "extremely low", once you add ECC you'll have an exceptionally solid component.
I'd be curious to know how common this is. I absolutely do not miss any part of the commute, or being constantly distracted by coworkers noise and needs.
Millions upon millions die around the world each year due to poor choices. Don't let a fraction of that amount getting a bad flu change your outlook. Humanity is doing just fine. Could be better, could be worse, but take a slow walk around the block and I think you'll agree.

This is pretty much the current step already, not the next step, with broad ban on anything that isn't a lot like Chrome and anything that they simply don't want to allow. In the last thread the narrative was hijacked with bullshit "security" justification, while in the blog post they ban much more broadly, any automation, text-based browsers, etc.

Funnily I feel the exact opposite. I see Debian as Stable while most other development these days are like webdesign: Learn a tool or framework and start using it - but wait! There's a better one out now and hey look at this shiny new tool. I like stable.
I wonder how you get into a useful ads category! Instagram usually wants to show me either absurdly expensive luxury property, student flats to rent near universities I’ve never been to, or luxury investment property in Dubai. They did at one point think I’d want to constantly see massively marked up dumbbells when they were sold out everywhere but when I didn’t bite they went back to showing me property I can’t afford in areas I don’t live.
I use Pragmata Pro because it supports monospaced Arabic text very well and I frequently have to work with Arabic. I've never seen a font that supports monospaced Arabic before.

How about means testing through progressive taxation of income or wealth?

You keep saying that, but that is plainly a positive spin on the purpose and not completely truthful.

If that were the purpose, why are there adverts for e.g. milk?

Except for workarounds, I can't watch age restricted youtube videos without an account. And even for normal content, youtube wants me to log in very often. I have to decline all the time. I fear that youtube will be authwalled eventually like instagram and similar services.
Once upon a time Google would've been applauded for forcing people to improve their security. Like when they made https a ranking factor for sites and overnight forced all the laggards to move off http.

Now, people just scream "monopoly" at everything google does, good or bad and boy is it getting tedious.

The worst thing is that they cast diversity in terms of gender and race. We had a kid here who went to one of the worst schools in Georgia and still decided she should be a nurse and joined the chemistry program at our regional state college here. Kid failed out after two years because despite several faculty members' best efforts she just wouldn't show up for mandatory classes. She has no chance in life, and it's not because she is a woman and Black.
The Backblaze B2 prices are not correct. In the original article, it states:

"For the Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage I assumed average between upload/download price because upload is two times cheaper then download."

In fact, uploads on B2 are free, and download bandwidth is cheaper than any other supplier I know of at 1 cent per GB, with a free daily allowance of 1GB. Storage rates are 1/2 cent per GB per month, of $5/mo per TB, including redundancy.

The storage cost of 5TB for Backblaze B2 for 5 years would be $60/year or $300 for 5 years, the upload cost is free, and if you downloaded your entire 5TB each month, it would cost less than $600 over 5 years because you'd also have the 1GB/day free download allowance. HashBackup (I'm the author) uses the free B2 daily allowance to pack older backup data, which sometimes requires an download and upload cycle.

I couldn't find the upload/download bandwidth assumptions, but these numbers are way off IMO.
Thanks for pointing that out. For the unfamiliar (like me a few seconds ago) culling means "to reduce or control the size of (something, such as a herd) by removal (as by hunting or slaughter) of especially weak or sick individuals " [1]

Very few people will object if a _site operator_ would know what they did on their site exactly, if they were a returning visitor, how much time they spent per page, etc.

The principal privacy-related concern with any form of analytics is that of tracking by _a 3rd party_ across _unrelated sites_. And this concern is fully addressed by simply not using external analytics services and relying on a self-hosted one instead.

So I really don't understand the whole exercise with not using random techniques that may be abused by 3rd party analytics services and then somehow claiming pro-privacy focus, whereby the solution is to NOT make yet another analytics service.

The only right way to do "privacy-focused" analytics is to offer a self-hosted option. Whoever makes a proper clone of the the original Urchin, before it mutated into GA, will strike pure gold.

Diesels are about 25% in Australia. In my extended family, several are mechanics, everyone has land cruisers. But second cars are also common. My parents have a Hyundai Ionic and a Prado (smaller land cruiser).

I live in Europe now, and you simply can't compare the driving to Australia. Some roads are genuinely scary with the occasional cow or roo to hit.

Electrification is much more feasible in Europe, and the sooner the better. Every little diesel engine sounds like a truck. Now if only they would stop piling the taxes on electrics ...
Apps that have ad-supported business models would probably abandon the platform altogether. And then people won't buy a phone if they can't use Facebook and/or Instagram on it.
I hate the smartphone app trend of having embedded browsers.

Just launch me to my preferred real browser.

Stop trying to trap us in your ecosystem.
If your API needs to serve data that lives in multiple sources, then PostgREST is definitely not the right tool.

It is, however, a pretty common design to have all your data flowing into a database, and being served from there. Indeed, it's probably the simplest and most common design for a basic web application. PostgREST or Hasura can do excellent work there.

I'm intrigued by the premise that humans are aliens who've forgotten our own origin, but unfortunately the fossil record debunks this. We're definitely from earth, at least since our very distant microbial ancestors.
> The turn-around occurred later and nobody apologised for their earlier, incorrect stances.

Fauci has widely explained why he felt it was justified at the time, admitted he was wrong, and apologized. Like when I just started to do a search to provide sources, it autocompleted the query even. Probably similar for the other sources you named, so I encourage you to do some research if interested.
The last time this was posted I dug in to this and it appeared as though 2 vs 4 tires per axle was not tested, in the original or follow up paper usually referenced. They were testing trucks vs trucks with the same axle type, but different numbers of axles (hence axle weight instead of vehicle weight).

It could be that four tires on a truck axle are much more effective at spreading the weight than two car tires. Or it could be that it's not much better, as the forces are still placed on a relatively small area of asphalt.

How this makes cars and trucks compare is, as far as I could understand from the literature when I dug in to it, an untested open question.

There could be a 10,000 factor difference. Or if two tires at each end are spreading the weight over 2x the surface area and you assume that matters, then you have to divide that 10,000 by 2^4 and it's now only 625x as damaging.

I suspect the reason nobody cares enough to test this is that it would still be a gap large enough to make cars insignificant.
I disagree. This cross-app tracking is an anti-trust concern. Plus, it's just fiscally irresponsible to give users choices. Facebook doesn't run a business in the real world, instead they play "games" which have optimal strategies and numbers to min/max. The more money they sink into surveillance-advertising, the more incentive they have to push users to actually use it. That incentive never goes away, it just builds pressure over time. This pressure inevitably manifests as lobbying money to rewrite the law in their own interest. There is a common saying in the U.S. with regards to business: "You are either growing or you are dying."

We don't need to live inside of a panopticon in order to figure what shows are playing in town, what new items are down at the shops. Tell me what city you live in; I can help you find stuff around town at no cost and I don't even have to spy on you.

That which is claimed without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.
It is actually a true RNG. Thermal noise, or whatever is messing up with your thermostat can be used as a source of entropy by hardware RNGs.
The thing that surprises me about modern politics is how much hate there is. I wonder if it was always this bad, or if the internet just shines a light on what was always there.

Early drafts of my comment kept going off into the weeds of "high dynamic range" versus how people tend to use "HDR" to describe pictures made by reducing more bits into fewer bits while maintaining the perception of more bits which in photography is basically every black and white print made from a well exposed black and white negative of a scene with at least moderate contrast...obviously I am letting this comment go into the weeds.

More recently, "HDR" can also refer to mapping fewer bits in the source into more bits on the output in the case of displays.

Anyway, disentangling dynamic range from gamut just a bit seemed like it might add some light.
No, HopsFS namenodes are stateless as the metadata is stored on an in-memory distributed database (NDB)

No way. (Theoretically on Android, but let's be real, they won't).

No way they are giving up marketshare on Safari or on corporate boxes with IE. They've paid so much to get onto iPhones, there's not a chance they'd risk any marketshare erosion.
It's a really dumb (in a midwit way characteristic of the engineer) approach to thinking about teams.

It misleads people who are already inclined by their professional deformation toward thinking of people as quantities or black-box abstractions, making them even worse at leadership.
High-availability durable filesystem is a difficult problem to solve. It usually starts with NFS, which is a big huge single point of failure. Depending on the nature of the application this might be good enough.

But if it's not, you'll typically want cross-datacenter replication so if one rack goes down you don't lose all your data. So then you're looking at something like Glusterfs/MooseFS/Ceph. But the latencies involved with synchronously replicating to multiple datacenters can really kill your performance. For example, try git cloning a large project onto a Glusterfs mount with >20ms ping between nodes. It's brutal.

Other products try to do asynchronous replication, EdgeFS is one I was looking at recently. This follows the general industry trend, like it or not, of "eventually consistent is consistent enough". Not much better than a cron job + rsync, in my opinion, but for some workloads it's good enough. If there's a partition you'll lose data.

Eventually you just give up and realize that a perfectly synchronized geographically distributed POSIX filesystem is a pipe dream, you bite the bullet and re-write your app against S3 and call it a day.

Flexing the sides requires negative curvature or non-convexity. Triangles are easy to draw because they have fewer sides than a square, thus positive curvature makes it possible to create a 3-right triangle. Octagons are the opposite.

This has nothing to do with security and everything to do with banning tools like youtube-dl, wget and others; from the post:

> The browser must identify itself clearly in the User-Agent. The browser must not try to impersonate another browser like Chrome or Firefox.

> The browser must not provide automation features. This includes scripts that automate keystrokes or clicks, especially to perform automatic sign-ins.

Edit:

I feel like mentioning youtube-dl was a mistake. It's not just about youtube-dl.

This policy bars the use of all text-based browsers, headless browsers, browsers without javascript, and browsers with automation when accessing Google's services. It bans browsers that contain Node.js, even.
Standard POP3/IMAP logins should still work, I believe?
Any particular reason you don't tag the objects instead? That's a significantly lighter-weight operation, since S3 doesn't have native renaming capability.
In terms of I/O pins that should actually be fine (current pinout: VGA (14x), SPI (4x), CLK (1x), N64_controller (1x)), though I'm still working on the project and I don't think it'll be done by the deadline. It looks like they might do future batches though -- it's a cool idea!

You do, but as the above commenter mentioned, you also need to have a Facebook account in order to be a customer of Facebook Ads, and for many other uses.

Purposely keeping that feature exclusive to employees shows that Facebook understands the desire for privacy, but only for those working for them.

This presumably means they are banning Chrome Lite?
They need non-Chrome browsers to exist, to avoid accusations of a monopoly. Chromium is arguably a strategy around this, where you can have a bunch of browsers using the same (Google controlled) infrastructure.

Safari is an exception, since Apple won't accept giving that up in their products.
Just want to say, I don't mean this as a criticism. Very interested to hear any insights on this.
