They already have a great WSL going already.
I run Ubuntu 18.04 under Windows 10 all day long.

I use it to model and test code that will take hours to fold into a build for our embedded target. On the last feature I completed, I wrote 2500 lines of pthread / Unix domain socket server code, and it ran on my WSL/Ubuntu target with only lightweight text file based shims to replace drivers on the embedded target. When I slid it over into the embedded build flow, it ran on the first try, no changes.

Compiled as a unit test harness in about 3 seconds on my WSL instance. Our full embedded target takes 30 minutes to build. So the WSL/Ubuntu instance is a huge time saver.
Lambda's pricing is indeed higher than Cloudflare Workers for sub 50ms workloads (that fit 128MB RAM).

Cloudflare's alliance with other infrastructure providers mean Cloudflare's platform isn't really limited to "API" workloads. This is discounting the fact that Cloudflare recently announced Workers Unlimited for workloads that need to run longer (upto 30mins) though then they do charge for bandwidth.
Stopped reading at 'Nobody Actually Likes Charity Gifts'

I understand the social bonds of gift giving but this whole Christmas thing is completely out of hand, so much pointless consumption. The idea of gift giving at christmas is like a good instinct that has been hideously amplified to 1000x what it should be and turned into a monster. I pretty much insist on people giving me charity gifts most years.
My experience hasn't been the same, I have two kids age 4 and 6, and my experience has been more laid back. Most of the time I spend with this kids is fun. Sure, there can be bad times that are stressful and/or exhausting but it's mostly been very rewarding.

My kids are asleep by 830 or 9pm, I'm not sure why this person feels they don't have free time until 11pm, that seems like an exaggeration to me.

Even when they are awake, they rarely occupy both my wife and I full time, unless we're choosing to spend quality time with them. Sometimes just one of us watches them while the other one had time to relax or catch up on work.

It's not like my wife and I were globetrotting before kids anyway. Having kids is far more interesting than the same old, same old routine. I don't really feel like I'm missing out on things I would have been doing before kids.

Amazon is laying the groundwork for its own quantum computer
I'm pretty sure we've reached an inflection point with some "technical architects" where they spend more time worrying about vendor lock and doing technical gymnastics to reach portability nirvana instead of just shipping decent code and products that make money.
More accurate title : "Guide for american employees of american companies to the IPO in america".

Probably very useful for a lot of people, but needs the massive disclaimer that the article does not apply for aniything/anyone that is not 100% american.
in all likelihood, this person knows way more about bread and bread-related items than you do. if it's bread related and costs less than $20, assume they either have it already or know about it and don't want it.

I find it's usually not a good idea to buy someone this kind of present unless you're willing to just ask them exactly what they want. instead, why not select something that you know a lot about that could still be useful to them? last christmas I set up backblaze on my mom's NAS (which I built for her several years ago) and paid for the first few months of service. my mom couldn't care less about the nuances of cloud storage providers, but she's quite happy to be paying a fraction of what a 10TB google drive subscription would have cost.
What would be really useful for my use case (running browser tests on a schedule) is if Cloudflare workers actually supported running full headless chromium automation in addition to just V8 isolates. Right now I'm using puppeteer/playwright + Lambda, but would love to have more options.
This book is the best summary that I can give you to being persuaded. Bitcoin's price movement is just a market signal that there's something deeply wrong and unfair with the current financial system. The more you learn about it, the more you can profit from the huge value transfer that's going on in front of your eyes. If you want a link, I suggest hope.com as well (as I could suggest many others, but what's important is that the ROI of learning about the reason for Bitcoin is huge).
The article likes them; you said they're a mistake.
Yep. But on mobile, Linux seem to run fine on the n900 and Ubuntu Phones.

The FreeRunner and Zaurus were sluggish, but they’re also on hardware that’s about 15 years old
They could be hoping to be acquired by Amazon as well.
Well I can't find a proposal on the web and the idea is sufficiently basic and fundamental to have been considered by the whatwg/w3c therefore they must have dismissed it for unknown reasons. They might reconsider it too so maybe
What's crazier is that the process is so well defined, that I have a friend who needed a custom enclosure inside hardware he was designing, and because PCBs come in arbitrary shapes and size by default, it was much cheaper for him to use PCBs in his design than to have custom built enclosures out of other materials. This was for products produced in the 100's of units a month.

Security deposits of attackers in ethereum are slashed, up to 100%, in case of an attack. The value at stake can potentially grow into hundreds of billions, much more than any PoW chain can hope to accumulate in mining revenues in its entire existence.

Last but not least, there's no way to delete PoW attacker's gpus, but hostile stake is always going to be slashed. Asic pow chain can be forked - once - to a gpu pow, but that's it, and after that there's no recourse to sustained attacks. This property virtually guarantees that no attack against PoS with slashing is ever going to happen.

AWS Lambda now supports up to 10 GB of memory and 6 vCPU cores
I don't really see how something like Realt is any different from owning a REIT. You still have to trust that the property actually exists. AFAIK there is no way for a blockchain to "own" property in the U.S. so there must be some shenanigans going on with a corporation owning it and agreeing to pay out the returns to token holders.

At this point it seems like you've just recreated being a shareholder in a REIT except without all the legal protections.
Aftermarket truck mods pollute as much as 9M extra pickups
The original statement of this idea is from John Maynard Keynes in his General Theory, and turns out to run

> If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coal mines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well tried principles of Laissez Faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing.
Yes, this is the problem with gift giving something a person is “passionate” about— that passion means they probably already have the things they want and likely also has strong preferences you are unlikely to know anyways.

I find buying a shared experience is better— a meal, dessert, golf, spa, etc. You get to spend time together, you get the benefit too, and it will not tend to be more memorable than some random gift.

Affordable Machine Learning Performance Monitoring
You build, train, and deploy your AI models. But as soon they move to production, you are left guessing how they behave in the real world. Right when it matters most, you lose touch. You can’t see, understand, or fix what’s going wrong with your models until it’s too late.

With explainX, you can seamlessly monitor your ML model performance and understand the reason behind each prediction to ensure your AI models never fail in the real world.

"or explain why they hadn't in a letter". Seems like an easy standard to meet...
I was referring specifically to Abrahamic religion, though of course what you say can be right in other spiritualities.
Corporate IT software on Mac is terrible. I'm happy that my employer has sane Mac policies and management software, but it is due to the large fleet of Apple devices. My wife's employer tries to manage their Macs like it is Windows and it is terrible, IT doesn't test anything on Macs and they don't know how to troubleshoot issues.

She has similar issues with the VPN too.
Mobile layout on this site is absurd. Doubled margins reduce the text column width to half of my screen, combined with justified text makes for long paragraphs of 2&3 words per line. Yikes. Straight to reader mode.
I think people got consumeables (nuts, beer, wine, chocolates), media like books/movies, and a few practical things (e.g. my wife got a soil moisture tester because she's getting into gardening).

I agree that a lot of items aren't great at the $20 price point, but a family could pick any limit that makes sense for them. For us, we don't need many material items, so the lower limit seemed reasonable.

Personally, I enjoyed it because it felt like a shift away from the material value and towards thinking about what the person would actually enjoy.
Indeed the IBKR approach is longer and there are more steps. You transfer cash to the account in the source country, make the FOREX transaction, transfer the money to your own bank account in the destination and the use a local payment system. It is however the cheapest option I’m aware of in the entire world. $20 per million + 0%.

If you’re sending comparatively smaller quantities then the delta between that and TransferWise is negligible, and it is a one stop shop.
Could you expand on a scenario where "traditional banking couldn't meet your needs," but crypto was able to?

I’m a Python engineer with API development, data science, and DevOps experience that loves working at the intersection of these fields to turn ideas into production products. I’m currently completing a Masters in Computational Data Analytics at Georgia Tech.

For the last eight months I've been CTO and co-founder at a startup I founded with a few co-workers after the last startup we were all working at shut down due to impacts from COVID. We released an iOS and Android app in September, but I am looking to move back into an employee role where I can focus on solving technical problems rather than running a startup.

Prior to my startup I was the second employee at another startup creating enterprise analytics software. I spent multiple years working in a hybrid backend engineering, data science, and devops role where I developed machine learning models and REST APIs and deployed them on Kubernetes using SQL and noSQL databases on GCP. I was heavily involved in the full implementation cycle from ideation, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

I am looking for a full time backend or data science role (ideally a bit of both!) in Denver or Remote. I have been fully remote the last 8 months and discovered I work very well in that environment.
I really like WSL2, and the vscode integration between 10 and WSL is simply astounding.
I hate being the product as well, but it's pretty much inescapable now. Paying for a service does not opt you out of being marketed to other income streams as a product (ie, combined stats, being part of a test group, etc).

The best we can hope for by paying for a product is getting additional features and not being inconvenienced (ie, avoiding ads).
Yes, it can on Windows, both via psqlODBC and Npgsql, when you find out which .net runtime version your Excel version uses.

On Mac, it is more interesting; there's only ODBC, Microsoft doesn't support the same psqlODBC you can use in Windows and you have to purchase one of the supported commercial ODBC drivers.
I actually wanted to broaden the bandwidth of the planar inverted F antenna patch bit; it was too peaky and narrow. I experimented with about four or five variants of the logo until I found one that had the desired effect. So it is true, the peak gain is reduced by this, but the gain in bandwidth meant I had better average gain over the entire 2.4G band.

Unfortunately, I can't definitively explain why it was better beyond some theoretical platitudes -- in the end, it was literally a process of just making educated guesses and measuring stuff until I found something that worked.

I've tried modelling software in the past, but the results don't match well with measurement, and the paid licenses for modelling software are by far more expensive than the cost of copper tape and a good knife, and then running a few prototypes (and the free stuff I could find wasn't even close to meeting the task). Not to mention the time -- the sims take a long time to run, and building accurate models is also quite time consuming.

Sort of a dissatisfying reality, but that's how the sausage got made.
I feel like at that number Reddit is in the goldilocks zone for being a useful social media platform -- big enough that there is tons of engagement, but small enough to not drown out anyone. If I want to, I can make a post about a hobby project on Reddit and (if it's actually something interesting) it'll get quite a bit of attention. If I post the same thing on twitter, it'll be lucky to get a tenth of the attention.

I do wonder how much of this is due to the lack of emphasis on a poster's "credentials" though. Reddit seems to be the last online platform where anyone can contribute to a discussion without being judged for how "popular" someone is.

Sorry, I was just trying to grok how you understand things to help me learn. I hope I didn’t come across as attacking you.

Completely off-topic, but I am interested in the science of psychological diagnoses, because a diagnosis is usually a recognition of a cluster of symptoms, and only sometimes is a cause given.

Funnily enough, before you mentioned it, I didn’t know what ‘primary insomnia’ meant. A definition for others: “Traditionally, a distinction has been made between secondary insomnia, which arises due to another condition, and primary insomnia where a patient has problems sleeping but where there is no underlying medical cause. However, this distinction is now considered less important because:” from https://bpac.org.nz/2017/insomnia-1.aspx

Trying to understand causes is an epically hard road, as shown by the slow progress in non-psych medicine over the last century. Especially hard if your own mind is throwing roadblocks in the way (mental tar pit, manic disinformation, delusions, time 110% dedicated to surviving with no spare cycles).

All the best fortune on your journey.

Each week we go through thousands of job listing and hand-pick only the best jobs that fit your criteria. Once that's done, we manually check each employer and verify them, and then we send the newsletter to your inbox.
Feel free take a look and let me know what you think.
Been doing this for a while and it's so simple yet so effective. Also fun to just scroll through and remember things about people you love.

My gift / interest lists are also a big driver for my pipe dream of a personal CRM or PSA. Would ideally have something like this built in.
I started this as a habit last year - it has totally changed my gift giving. I think the recipients value the gifts more because they're more thoughtful and it's made the weeks leading up to Christmas much more relaxed.
Well, it’s nice to have a hobby. Configuring the OS just isn’t mine.
Just one point of clarification, the Amazfit Bip does not use e-ink. It's a transreflective LCD screen, kind of like the old Game Boy Advance screens. It's easier to see in bright sunlight, and always on.

I enjoy learning new technologies and working on inspiring projects. In addition, I prefer to work throughout the full stack as my background has required full understanding from UI through to the full backend infrastructure. I have an even split of experience both in enterprise and startup spaces.

At this point I'm looking to move into a DevOps or SRE type role as my skill set aligns well with those kind of responsibilities, and my latest role has afforded me the opportunity to learn many more facets of SRE. Full stack development is also a viable option, for the right opportunity.

>> Eight hours of work

No. It is eight hours on shift, on the factory line. That doesn't include all the pre/post work getting to/from the line, paperwork to do and meetings to attend. All of that is probably another hour or two every day.

>> two hours of commuting and personal hygiene

We don't all live next to the factory. I'd say two hours just for commuting. As for personal hygiene, I leave it to the ladies here to comment on how much time they need to put in each day. I (military) can shower/shave in under 10 minutes when necessary, but I get to wear the same clothes every day and certainly don't worry much about my hair.

>> a full six hours per day to use however she likes.

Work emails to answer. Kids to cook for. Bills to pay.
Paperwork to do. Shopping. Taking the car to the mechanic. Dentist appointments. Elderly parents to support. Carpets to vacuum. LIFE.

>>eight hours of sleep .

lol.
This. The founders are all exAmazon and I think this is a likely exit strategy.
Because it’s essentially Amazon, ex Amazon engineers and they integrate with Alexa by default which likely means a nice side channel income.
Been a customer for a few years. They're upfront with everything. From what I know I'm not the product (so far). Everything I ever purchased was an excellent value and met 99% of my expectations. My only gripe is there is no desktop software to manage all the devices. You should give them a try, the cameras are awesome.
You have an idea. Here's how to validate it, gain traction, and start a list
I don’t even need to open this link to know that Glenn pins all blame on democratic presidents and either ignores or downplays the role of Bush and Trump. How do some people still believe this guy is “a liberal” or even on the left at all?
Interesting! How are they wrapped? Do ppl trade bitcoin on ethereum without actually using the bitcoin blockchain?
They are coming out with new sensors.
Also related, make a note of people's sizes (shoes, hats, whatever). Very often, I find myself looking at a dress and thinking so-and-so would look great in it but I can't buy it because I have no idea what size they wear.
When I was younger my family wrote down what we want for Christmas on index cards then had my dad keep track of who bought what for whom. We eventually started using a site called Giftster instead which has worked great. This way people get stuff they want and nobody ends up buying the same thing.
