Hey HN! I made this extension to deal with the headache of working on multiple regions at a time in the AWS Console.

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0UqrcBSwXA

Honestly it has helped me out so so much during development, outages, etc. Hope it might help some of you as well :)
I am very thankful that it’s not supported
I don’t think it’s bad for a tv with so much image processing and other logic in it to take five seconds from pressing the internet button to having the image shown?

Even CRTs took comparable time with no software in them. It took a few seconds to warm up and not show a distorted image.

There are plenty of recipe sites out there that are mostly just ingredients/instructions like allrecipes.com, Epicurious, etc. If people are allergic to sites that try to provide more of a story or context around a given recipe, they should just avoid those sites and stick to the more "just the facts" ones. There's no shortage of those.
Fossil fuels need to be replaced in all their applications, not just electricity.

Even taking the example of Scotland (which is a doing rather well in this regard) electricity is a relatively small portion of energy consumption. Heat and transport are the dominant areas, and both are still mostly fossil-based.

As a native German I have to admit that the problem with .kz only occurred to me after you mentioned it. I'm not sure if I should feel good or bad about this.

When email addresses were standardized, unicode wasn't around.

For domains and hostnames we have punycode which maps unicode characters onto the ASCII charset, which is why it works.

This does not apply to the user portion of the email address.

Emoji as part of the display name should work, i.e.
"Emoji" <user@emoji.kz>

I'm curious if anyone understands how this might affect exchange rates of CAD with other currencies? I'm aware that other countries are also basically printing money with various COVID stimulus packages. But in Canada, where a large portion of GDP is tied up with housing, there is an even greater share of new money entering the system via mortgages (in Canada/most other countries? loans/mortages create an equivalent amount of new money as their value). I'm far from being an expert macro-economics, but would this housing bubble(?) not debase CAD at a higher rate than other currencies?
Well I'm glad I didn't say anything of the sort then? I just said he's a cunt.

I'd strongly recommend anyone doing this to wear (or at least carry in a pocket) a head-mounted torch in any case, even if you don't plan on using it at all. There are small ones that don't cost a lot and are really lightweight, and you don't need a lot of light if your eyes are accomodated to darkness anyway. A headlamp is absolutely invaluable when unexpected problems arise, like that one time I found a groaning person at the riverbank in moonless darkness or the one time I lost my way a little bit in the mountains, or the one time someones dog got scared and hid somewhere in the bushes and wouldn't return on its own. Hands-free light is just really really good to have.
In my opinion, there are two solutions to USA's energy problem (in relation to climate change). Either...

(1) USA bets on nuclear. The real production energy demands can be supplied by nuclear reactors.

(2) USA decides to bet on wind and solar. USA then re/opens it's own local rare earth material mines. USA also manufactures all energy collectors locally. All of this is to avoid having to pay the carbon cost of having the raw materials mined in China, and energy collectors shipped over from China to USA.

The uninformed opinion doesn't take into consideration raw material extraction, fabrication, and shipping.
What an individual may find objectional and what an organization with a founded interest in maintaining a positive public image in the todays political turbulence may find objectional are very different things.

I think you've made a good point, though I disagree on the expensiveness. I think the point I should have tried to make is "Rust's async fns are colored, but I don't think that's a big problem".

In my head I used "suffers from the coloring problem" (which I would 90% attribute to point 3 in the post) and "is colored" interchangeably, but obviously there is a difference between the two.

More than a simple RSS reader, Fraidycat removes the feeling of being overwhelmed when having many feeds with many updates. A chatty website doesn't drown the others, only itself.

There's a second level to organization: if a feed is really too verbose and you realize you don't want to read each and every post you probably want to "demote" its importance and put it in another category.

All of those are most certainly possible with any feed reader but Fraidycat has put it in front
10 lines is fairly annoying. Fortunately, the color change bit alone is just 1 line - and you can mix runtimes, although the wisdom of doing so is questionable.

That seems completely unrelated to an email service, especially if most of its users are outside of Kazakhstan.
Thanks for the great response. I didn't realise that the bindings deviate so much from what is already specified in the standard.

Agreed.
Sorry, I didn't intend trivial in a disparaging sense :)

I was referring to the entry barriers due to technical difficulty.

To restate with better terms, I believe that the GSOC projects have a generally high entry barrier, due to the fact the they require knowledge in the field. I think the students are hardly beginners.

However, I may be wrong. Something very interesting is that one can open the organizations for the past years (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/organizatio...), pick a project (ie. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/projects/62...) and see the detailed report ("GET THE CODE" button).
Sometimes the "able-bodied" person has a legit reason for the handicapped permit that isn't visible. (For instance, someone with advanced lung disease where stamina is a concern)

Likewise for domains. I think many just buy domains with the idea of building something "one day". If it isn't actively listed for sale, it's hard to discern intent.
In 2021 I recently launched my newest product: It's called open3ABox and it's a raspberry pi with open3A pre-installed which I deliver to my customers who have not the technical skills for their own server but don't want a cloud version either. It's fully remote managed and monitored by me

This would be an interesting model for quite a few services. It reminds me of Ubiquity's cloud key. I wish some government grant contractors would try it.
I think Nim is a better bet. It's safer and has a Pythonic syntax. However it's popularity is taking a long time to build, although I'd say it's getting there.

> Most Americans’ wealth is tied to their homes

It’s not the same wealth as having $500k in cash or investments, as you always need a roof over your head. It’s not nothing either, as you might be able to sell and move somewhere cheaper, but that’s costing you in maybe moving somewhere you don’t want to be.

The “wealth” of being in a $400k house that goes up to $500k isn’t all that great when the house you were aiming to move into goes from $500k to $700k.

It's worse than that, those areas are taken over by know-nothings who are great at politics and terrible in their field.

The people deciding tenure and grants are the best physicists, they are the best politicians who happen to have had a physics degree, or physics adjacent at some point in their education.
So let’s take transport.

We have electric cars on roads being sold in massive numbers.

We don’t have cars with little nuclear reactors sitting inside them.

So how is transport a good example of something that would somehow be better solved by nuclear than solar/wind?
Personally, for now, I like being one of the "maintainergineers".

Often, when I read code written by "green fielders", I question their competence, and question myself why I'm still working at this place. I admit this says more about my ignorance than anything else. I'm just saying what I feel at the moment.

All projects that I have been part of in my current company don't have automated tests (at least initially before I joined). Instead we rely on QA. Since I read a lot about things like DDD / well architected code I often dream working on a codebase where implementing features and fixing bugs isn't frustrating and deploying to production isn't nerve wracking.

Since the first step of refactoring is to have tests, in my first project I endeavoured to have unit/integration/e2e tests. They're a bit subpar for my taste, and can be a bit slow to run at times. However, these tests allowed me to sleep better at night after each deployment.

In the last few days, since joining a new (EDIT: non-greenfield, as a maintainer) project, all I've done is write unit/integration tests. (EDIT: I'm writing unit tests to what I currently consider very sloppy code, e.g., not using dependency injection, leaky abstractions like calling request() inside a model class (project uses laravel framework))

I like to think that what I have done and what I'm doing right now will enable me to write better architected code. As an extremely simple example, I find it harder to test `new FooClass` than its dependency injected counterpart. I hope I'll remember that next time I write code.

Exchange also does this, if you are part of a group, send an email to that group, you will never get it. We ran into it when one of our systems were sending an alert for a failed action to a group, but it was sending it on behalf of the person that tried to do that action and eventually failed. Everyone in the group was getting the email, except the original person.
You would think, but the search engines have a tight-lid on that sort of thing via at-least terms of use.

Ideally, the HTTP/proxy layer of the internet could have solved this with caching of the search URLs, but caching has pretty much been gimped thanks to "privacy", HTTPS, logins, etc. I'll add this as another data-point to my tin-foil hat explanation of why privacy and HTTPs has so heavily been forced upon us by Google et al.
> But you know what? It's fun. I like it. It's the closest thing to an Iron Man like house we have so far.

That's the only argument I can accept, "it's cool". I still believe it's not sustainable in any way, shape or form and that it's going to be a major pain in the ass down the line both in term of waste and long term maintenance.

It's like huge diesel trucks running straight pipes, some people think it's fun, I'm glad most people don't and that most places ban them.

We'd get more time to spend on "real life" if we used automation's productivity improvements to reduce working hours to 4 hours a day rather than by getting gadgets rolling our blinds and setting the AC automatically.

No, a mixtape is more personal and romantic. A playlist is just a list of songs. "I made you this playlist" said nobody ever.

I think the big distinction, is that music collections were more personal back then too. Now if you have Spotify, you can hear any song you want. But then you only had the tapes that you had, or if you're willing to deal with lesser quality the ones that you recorded off the radio.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is not how I understand the meaning of "open source software".

It sounds rather like customers get source access. Do they have the right to sell the source code or re-release it in any way by following an open source license?

Really? I know that they had a Java version, which sometimes worked with luck on some machines. Last time I wanted to join a WebEx conference, a few weeks ago, I didn't find a web version and ended up installing the Android App, which gave me such a bad experience ... which made me leave the meeting early even though content was interesting.
I'd argue a lot of the complexity in CSS comes from how people typically write it: lumping a bunch of properties into "semantic" classes, then trying to juggle how those all cascade and interact when nested within other such classes. I think we've all lost the will to live trying to "undo" a style cascaded from an element's great-great-grandparent.

Of course, you don't have to do that—you could write your CSS classes as ultra-low specificity classes that each only target one property...but I think you'll find that's what Tailwind is :)
I used to agree with the author, but having read a fair number of Peter Askew's writings, I've changed my mind.

Domain names are powerful, cheap marketing that only gets more powerful over time as links are acquired. It can be a huge advantage in driving organic traffic to your online business.

Paying someone who speculated on the domain's value early on isn't outrageous. It's like getting mad at someone for buying a piece of real estate on the edge of town, having the town grow around their property, and seeing the value appreciate. The buyer took a risk. Circumstances could have worked out differently.

Speculation is a really natural market force. Suck it up, babies. If your product is that good, your investment into a good domain will pay back quickly!

> A typical coal plant produces more nuclear waste than a nuclear plant.

No. This is absurdly incorrect.

That article has been debunked many times because its basic claim is that coal ash ponds emit to the environment (not contain) more radiation than spent nuclear fuel storage in perfect working order.

The spent fuel from a nuclear power plant contains many orders of magnitude more radioactive matter than any coal plant, anywhere. The design of fuel assemblies, as well as the associated exterior containment of e.g. cooling ponds, or dry casks, keeps the massive amount of radioactivity confined and separate from the environment.
yes, right,
if length is a multiple of 15, there is an issue.

And there is no primitive for masking on AVX2, those are only available on AVX-256.

if we want to minimize the iterations of the post loop, it should be

var upperBound = length % 15 == 0? length - 15: length - length % 15;

but as you said, i'm not sure the VM will eliminate the bound checks in that case
so your solution seems to be the best

var upperBound = length - 15

The demo site is in German; a language selector is not obviously findable.

"I have a free version of open3A which is as useful as possible without any limits but of course it is missing advanced functionality. This version gets full support by me via phone and email."

I think that providing support for free version is somewhat unique, however it does make sense - the longer people use her software the more likely they purchase add-on or subscription.

I'm in a similar situation as essentially an Oracle Developer with 20+ years experience. I have gradually worked with more db engines (Sql Server, Postgres, MySQL, Redis, Sqlite, Mongo, Couchbase, Snowflake) along with Oracle on projects I've been on. I've also explored more webservice development with java and .net core and mobile dev. I've investigated and used quite a few BI stacks too. I've worked with AWS and Azure.

All this has been related with my work to Oracle and it's helped me gain more of an Architecture type position now so I'd recommend growing your skills within the position they're already in AND if you feel it's necessary do some personal projects in your own time. I don't feel quitting work to study an only slightly related area would necessarily help unless you have a large amount of time/money to spare.

Whoever suggested Oracle will be around for a while is also right, so there will probably always be jobs if you can compete for them. For instance in the UK I'm aware that 100s of banks and most utility companies have used Oracle in core systems. A lot of these systems remain.

Yeah, the YouTube ad shows this (there's a quick screenshot of an email address with .kz after the emoji). But the ad also does the trick of eliminating the ccTLD after gmail and yahoo, it asks you "Still using an @gmail address?" ... well I use an @gmail.com address, but I see what you did there, you eliminated the .com so you could also hide the fact that your emoji address actually needs a .kz at the end.

Delivering 4GW in a single project would certainly set it apart. Perhaps the sweet spot for nuclear is not the traditional 1GW level.

Although that would create a very large single point of failure that would need peakers/batteries/pumped hydro to backup on failure.

An interesting project would be to stick a 5GW reactor in the middle of the North Sea and run export cables to all the surrounding countries. Build near an old oil well for hydrogen storage and include a thermal hydrogen generator.
