This article seems to præsent it as though it be news that there is a female commercial market, which is odd to say the least.

“otome” as a genre by the way is little more than living out a phantasy of being highly sexually desirable. It's part of the bizarrely popular “harem” genre in Japan, which comprises fiction and video games whose entire plot can be surmised as “The entire cast of attractive characters all fall in love with the protagonist and seem to exist for no other reason than to fall in love with the protagonist.”. — there seems to be a somewhat larger male than female market for this, but the female market is still quite large, and it's as much trash as my description would suggest. — it is really nothing more than plotless wish fulfillment.

The drawing in the article of the many is very indicative of the otome harem, indeed.

In any case, this article speaks as though they hit some kind of untapped hole in the market, but it's a drop in the bucket.
We drop IP already when proxying a number of Google services, see https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-....

We've used Fastly in the past to drop IP, implemented using VCL. I believe we're using other vendors now as well. Unlikely to use FoxyProxy but the idea is the same. We don't log IPs and don't let them get to us or to Google or other service providers, where possible.

If you are interested, https://brave.com/brave-private-cdn/ describes how we go to even more effort to avoid seeing fingerprints as well as identifiers including IP addresses.

Yeah, at a certain point the controls themselves are objectionable. There's room for debate about what that point is, but, sometimes treating people like you distrust them is rightfully offensive. Suppose that a church counted the cash in everyone's wallet on the way in and again on the way out to make sure they weren't stealing from the collection plate, for example? We'd find that highly offensive, because it would imply that the parishioners weren't to be trusted.

Hey,

We’re working on a really new approach to this problem (I worked at 7 different companies and ramp-up/oncall sucked every time). Our alpha users really liked the approach we’re taking.

Southwest, Spirit, Alaska, and JetBlue (and probably others, but I got tired of looking) all have _never_ gone through bankruptcy-- Southwest had even managed to turn a profit for 47 consecutive years before COVID came along last year and screwed that streak up.

Many of the other big, "traditional" national carriers (including American, Delta, and United) have been through Chapter 11 once. That's not really "trading in the state semi-permanently", though; none of the surviving big-name carriers have been through Chapter 11 more than once, and all are currently out of it.
Because C is not machine code or even assembly language it must be compiled. Not only might the compiler not be as opportunistic about improving the human written code, but it might not fully utilize the machine's full capabilities if the compiler does not understand the complete instruction set that is available or other things like memory and different levels of cache.

The compiler might not even provide access to these capabilities to a programmer who knows about them and wants to explicitly use them. In such cases, the programmer might have to use assembly, or Fortran, C++ or even something much higher level than C with a compiler that provides access or knows how to "intuit" when those capabilities are useful.
> I can say personally I definitely wouldn't have made it to where I did financially had I stayed in Canada, or it probably would've taken me at least 15 years instead of ~5

This is my experience coming from Britain too, but honestly not sure it's had any great effect on my level of life satisfaction - you can live a pretty comfortable life on software engineer's salary most places. The work available in Silicon Valley is definitely more interesting, but you now work in an office park 30 miles form the city centre and housing has gotten so expensive its driven out a lot of the interesting cultural life.

Quite. As I said in another comment, this article makes it seem as though it be some kind of hole in the market that they tapped into.

This is really not remarkable; otome games and fiction are common place and a big market indeed.

It's as though it be præsented as news that some firm made a first person shooter.
"Right leaning" is not the proper description of the populations using gab
Yes but efficiency is pretty valuable since we have limited lifespans. Providing the capital to start a company (or build new housing/apts) now rather than in 10-20 years probably does more good than harm overall. It's definitely a balance though, very easy to go overboard.

You are continuing to speculate based on incomplete information.

You are painting a picture, but really that’s all it is until we have more answers.

You really don’t know what happened.

> this never would have become a public issue if Dustin could have just spoken to someone on the phone at Apple and gotten his problem resolved right then over the phone

Perhaps true. We don’t know for sure, but irrelevant to whether Dustin made bullshit statements. He could have made it public without that.

> Which has a limit of 280 characters?

What he wrote in those 280 characters turned to be total bullshit, completely unsubstantiated by anything He or Apple later said.

That has nothing to do with the character limit.

> I have to wonder what you think Dustin's goal is here? Do you think he's "out to get" Apple or something?

You can follow the link I posted elsewhere in reply to Dustin himself.

I don’t think it was his goal to harm Apple, however it is definitely some people’s goal, and by posting a false statement, he has created misinformation which such people readily exploit.

> there was a massive failure of Apple customer service here

No. This is just more speculation from you. As we have already established, you really don’t know what happened.

> Why are you so committed to tearing down one person who experienced a problem that nobody should experience?

Nobody is tearing anyone down. I’m just saying that we need to hear from him in order to understand what is happening. My response is to you drawing conclusions without waiting to hear from him.

He provided incomplete and incorrect information and that has led people to draw faulty conclusions. It would help if he cleared this up.

Even just saying “my bad, I was upset at having my account disabled and jumped to the wrong conclusion in my tweet” would help. Remember he doubled down later and made a second false claim about Apple’s policies.

Why are you defending this anyway? Just because Apple can make press releases, why would you encourage the spread of false information here in this forum?

The moderators do make effort to prevent that, but it takes a certain amount of community support too.

It’s pretty simple - you made a list of questions which I agreed was reasonable, but that the clarification is clearly for Dustin to give now. The rest of this discussion stems from you drawing conclusions without waiting for him to reply.

Some side notes:

- The readFileSync in this benchmark has UTF-8 decoding (produces a string instead of a Buffer). That’s why it’s slower; not sure why it’s included.

- The first guess/suggestion,

> Instead of creating a new Buffer for each chunk, it could allocate a single Buffer and write to that buffer. I don't think Buffer.concat or temporary arrays are necessary.

is already what the code does. Multiple chunks and Buffer.concat are only involved if more data gets read than stat initially reports.

Yes, I’m aware of it. I’m just tired by these layman’s “oh that’s another reason to ditch C strings”, when it has nothing to do with it. Working with offsets requires handling offsets and lengths, be it explicit ‘off’ and ‘n’ or a string_view. All that is needed in this case in C is snscanf (note the ‘n’), so that it would know its limits apriori, like snprintf does. Sadly that ‘n’ never made it into the standard.

Could they calculate and show an estimate of the monthly charges based on current objects in the bucket before and after the change in storage class?

I'm sort of hesitant to opine on "legitimacy"; while I believe in the abstract concept of copyright as a tool to protect the interest of creators, the actual real world implementation of copyright seems to often be a cascade of shit sandwiches. If copyright law is making it effectively impossible for you to give a creator money even if you want to, like the One Hundred Years of Solitude example, it's hard to see how it's helping anyone. (And that's without getting into the question of whether a 50-year-old work should really still be under copyright.) While I'm sure the current US publishers would disagree with me, it doesn't seem unreasonable to "pirate" the book in that case.

As for protesting perceived price gouging, uh... [shrug emoji] I really don't know what to tell you. In the case of the Moorcock book, there are two different publishers there -- the US publisher is the independent Titan Books, while the UK publisher is Gollancz's "SF Gateway" line of low-priced reprint ebooks, which notes on their web site, "we have English language rights on all titles everywhere in the world except for the USA, its dependencies, Canada, and the Philippines." The problem child in this case isn't Gollancz; it may be Titan, but it might also be Moorcock or his agent. At any rate, "this price is obviously too high so I'm just gonna pirate it" is a road I'm not entirely comfortable going down, even when it seems that, well, yeah, the price is too high. (That's stopped me from buying any of John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels in ebook; they're barely longer than novellas -- about the same length as the Elric books, if I'm remembering them right! -- and should really be priced at $2.99 or $3.99 a pop.)
I assume it's intended to show web rendering performance, not demonstrate its viability as an app framework.

As a Flutter developer, I don't think Flutter will ever be a great choice for a lot of text-heavy things that people generally consider "web apps" (just going through my tabs now - GitHub, StackOverflow, reddit, Gmail, Wikipedia).

But it will really shine for "traditional" desktop-type applications, but delivered via web (think Rive, Figma, Filmora, etc). I think that's why they're focusing on rendering performance.

That being said, Figma have done an amazing job with WebAssembly (and I guess they rolled their own UI framework?), so it's not like Flutter is the be-all and end-all.
Is S3 marketed towards nontechnical folk like this?

I really don't get why people want to kill turbotax. I get the following:

1. the tax system in the US is broken
2. It needs to be simpler
...
3. kill turbotax???

For many people, such as myself, turbotax is doing exactly what most people want to kill it for... simplifying US taxes so I don't have to think about it.

Am I missing something? Do people just think oh, if turbotax dies, a free open source version of it is going to be as usable, consistent, bug free, and adopted? Or tax code itself is going to be as easy to use as turbo tax currently is?

I'd bet the cost of killing turbotax is probably greater than the entire net worth of turbotax as a company, with lifetime future revenues discounted to today, 10 times over.
Sorry, I must have completely blanked and missed that statement. Regardless, it is compared to AGI, which is possibly one of the worst possible metrics to use.

Firstly, AGI is post-deductions, so people who play games with their taxes show up as paying more.

Secondarily, and more importantly, income is a trash metric anyways. Poor does not mean low income, it means low wealth. In your data somebody who inherits a ton of money but has 0 income counts as "bottom 50%". Rich people have a disproportionally lower income vs wealth.

Definitely a kick it down the road problem.

It's one of a whole class of problems that (1) we will have to solve or we will go extinct, but (2) are completely and utterly pointless to actually try to solve now because they are so far beyond our level.

When some far future people finally have the ability to seriously start working on one of these problems, they will have techniques and knowledge so far ahead of us that anything our best and brightest could do in a lifetime's work now on the problem will be something the future people can trivially do in a day.

The only contribution we can make now to these problems is to just continue to improve our science and engineering in general, in the hope that if we do that for enough generations then eventually our successors will have enough accumulated knowledge to actually tackle these problems.
They might be, if the deceased has an estate. Or the estate could be a corporation. At some point, though, it really does feel like rent-collecting for somebody, doesn't it? I don't know what the "correct" length of a copyright term is, but I'm pretty sure it's shorter than what we have now.
This isn't really related to your question, but I don't think tail calls could help for Fibonacci since f(n) branches to two calls, f(n-1) and f(n-2). And each of those branches into 2. So it can't be done in a finite stack area with naive recursion.

The compiler would either have to memoize, or be extremely clever and start at the base case (0, 1) and then transform the code to use the 2x2 matrix exponentiation. I wouldn't have been suprised if GHC haskell was that clever, but even with -O2 "print $ fibb 10000" isn't terminating.
C - and especially idiomatic C actually withholds a __lot__ of information from the compiler. People like to think C is just a portable assembler, but by god it ain't.

The reason why C programs often are fast or run faster is because the language forces you to approach almost all abstraction head on - this goes both ways however, in that linked lists are much faster to write in C than a safe array type, so programs can end up with bad data structures for too long.

Since the lingua franca of the operating system is still C or C-like, there are actual optimization opportunities that go missing because of the C interface: It's hard to devise many alternatives, but if you are calling into libc for mathematics in a hot loop it may be worth avoiding it and rolling your own since the compiler can't really inline libc calls.
> It would be nice to get a hard-cap on AWS costs.

> I don't believe you can "halt everything" if you go over a certain amount though.

You're pretty much on point. Handling a hard cut is simply not feasible for nearly all services. I.e. simply sending E-Mails in the middle of a news letter is not useful. You can have reasonable actions for some services (i.e. disallow new EC2 machines, add the end-of-month-cost for running ones to the bill), but this could break automation in strange ways (i.e. you suddenly could not spin up a large instance temporarily due to the limit). And how would you handle traffic? Disallow peaks? What about API gateway or other usage-based services?

Lastly, AWS is all about scalability. Breaking so much, especially in the scalability space, for such a small feature is simply not worth it for them. So usually they're simply lenient on bills and take the occasional beating (and it's not like there would not be an equal amount of articles on "how AWS caps broke our system [and it did not warn us/the UI was bad/ ...]").

The missing hard cap is the reason I don't have an account there, but I can absolutely understand why they don't have it.
That sentence is an outright lie.

I talked to someone about renting once, I thought we'd agreed to go ahead, the next day they called and said, essentially, they'd decided to rent to someone they preferred better who expressed interest after me. Casually, as though it wasn't a slap in the face.

I concluded that I'm probably stuck renting from an impersonal corporate landlord that runs apartment complexes, but that seems more expensive.

At least in the US, I think people that are renting out part of the building they live in have, legally, a higher degree of latitude in terms of discrimination. It is kind of like a job interview. Or considering someone as a roommate.
Criticized Indian Vaccine Already in Use Found 81% Effective
Why are people downvoting this without saying anything?
This article is pretty reasonable, but the title is pretty terrible. While vaccines are generally safe and massively pass the cost/benefit calculation, that doesn't make them inherently good in general.

They are just generally good because our public and private systems for ensuring the are safe and effective are currently pretty good (and will hopefully continue to be).

I hate how these stories are framed. „Decolonizing“? „Biased“? „Hegemony“?

Screw that! If you don't like „Western“ software, written by „Westerners“, go write your own! They made the effort to design and code that software, to scratch their own itch. There's nothing stopping you! Your imaginary antagonists even created the tools for you to do so. Are you going to start complaining that Open Source doesn't understand your culture because the ReadMe isn't in your native language?

I'm all for celebrating other tuning and composition systems, but stop griping that things aren't done your way. Do it yourself!
