Well, take a look at eg theia-ide.org. you can begin use on web and then run locally, either as docker or built from git source project. Web is portable, even offline
I don't think that's how Chromecast always works (though it can work that way).

Most of the time, your device(s) tell the Chromecast what to play, and the Chromecast plays that on its own. There is integration which tries to sync the UI on the "controlling" device to the playback of the Chromecast but this fails often enough for me that it's clear that (in my case) my phone isn't streaming to the Chromecast directly unless I'm screen mirroring.
I developed a simple wrapper around vegeta, called vajra, that can be given the URL to a file containing test URLs (in vegeta format), a target QPS/duration, and then easily run a load test.

Gets deployed as a k8s `Job` via GitLab (can be scheduled/on-demand), with a simple script echoing back the vegeta status every 1 minute. Jobs don't yet support automatic cleanup, so another simple GitLab job deletes the job from k8s upon completion. The execution log is anyway available in GitLab/Kibana.

All in all, an extremely simple way to run load tests against a service deployed in k8s.

What grew as a personal utility is now being used by many teams for quick load tests.
Kubernetes does a lot of different things but one of the more important is resource management. You spin up a fleet of Kubernetes nodes which can have totally heterogenous (differing) amounts of compute/memory/disk, and have the scheduler make intelligent decisions about where to stick containers based off your (optionally specified) list of resource requirements.

So it solves the bin-packing problem automatically rather than having to manually map out an efficient way to use your infra. It doesn’t reduce the complexity per say - the interactions can get complicated if you’re using stuff like node taints/tolerations instead of the more computationally simple “App X needs this much RAM but beyond that I don’t care where it lives”

If I find a bunch of raspberry PIs in my basement and want to have them join my fleet, I just do that and even if my fleet varies from 256 core CPU boxes with huge raid arrays all the way down to tiny raspberry PIs, the scheduling just works. Note here the broader pattern of abstracting away the physical hardware; it’s a really important concept to grok.

I have a feeling you may be conflating some concepts in information theory, and possibly redefining information in multiple places.

Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood require a codec to decipher. Otherwise they are literally just strings of bits. A simple codec can take the bitstring and encode it as characters. So that you, may use your codec (your eyes) to send an encoding to another codec (your brain) to decipher and finally intepret the meaning. Codecs are kind of a tricky thing, in that they can compress a lot of information into a single bit, but to set up that compression requires a lot of ‘work’ outside the scope of a given transmission window.

To answer your question as to which story contains more information, you need to first ask ‘how sophisticated is my codec?’ I can tell you from watching children grow up, the same story can have vastly different information conveyed depending on when the story is consumed.
About your edit: That is the plot of the excellent early access game "Dyson Sphere Project".

In the game backstory humanity became entirely digital, but found out AFTER that, the energy requeriments are staggering, so they send the player in a robot body to fix the energy issue. (you start building solar panels and thermoelectric powerplants and whatnot until you can build a dyson swarm and finally a dyson sphere).
GoPros. I saw mountain biking videos from the 90s and the riders were wearing CAMCORDERS on their helmets.
I've never used them or seen them used for large-scale production sites but I reach for them all the time when building out small proof of concept or isolated examples for debugging in places like Codepen. It's handy to have a few appealing colors memorized when you're sketching things out.
Repair isn't that straightforward. It requires you to remove the wheel, and then the tire. You then replace the inner tube and re-mount the tire bead, which requires some practice to get right. Then you have to re-pump it. An expert can do it quickly, but it's a hassle for an amateur out for a cruise.

It's also limited by the tubes and/or patches you've brought with you. If you blow a tube, you should have a spare. If you lose a second tube, you may be out of luck. Maybe it can be patched, though I've found patching unreliable. You may be in for a long walk, in your cycling shoes -- especially if you've ridden out of cell phone range.

These are clearly going to be far beyond the price point of your casual rider, at least for a while. But if they can match the ride experience, and eventually lower the price, I could see these being wildly popular.

Pneumatic tires are hard to beat, but there's a lot of room for improvement in their durability. Which is really important for something you depend on so much.
Every operating system/hardware combination has its own pros and cons. For you, it seems the cons outnumber the pros when it comes to macOS and Apple hardware. Fair enough. For me, I see no major reasons to consider anything else than Mac. I really enjoy using both the OS and the hardware. To each their own.
Well done.

I've been frequently thinking over this past decade that an average consumer level distributed computing is the biggest causality of closed, proprietary software/hardware.

Consider compressing several terabytes of disjoint data to a zip file using compute resources of pc, smartphone, tablet etc. at the same time.
I've seen some subtle attempts to make use of distributed computing in consumer space like Apple's Compressor for video encoding.

Of course distributed computing has been a staple in scientific research for a long time. I personally use dask, modin for some data exploration activities when I feel the urge for some distributed computing. Wanted to checkout Julia's distributed computing capabilities but it required similar setup for all nodes but I'm interested in cross-platform(architecture) only.
I agree that computing requirements scale as we go, but surely you don't need 4k at 60Hz to browse the web now? I regularly play games using steam link now and while it's not the full quality and framerate, it's just convenient (and cheaper than having a full desktop pc in every room). Thin computing seems much more seamless and workable now than it did in my college years with Sun thin clients.
Thank you for clarifying your points, as I've said in my previous reply I do appreciate the simplistic approach.

As well I mean no offense, the entire platform seems very sturdy though it leaves some questions which aren't apparent immediately (which may just be me)

If I wasn't contempt with my current backup solution I would seriously consider yours, and I wish you guys the best of luck. You're one of the few keeping simplicity as a key value.
It seems a very similar product, also offering zfs snapshots, but I like the fact rsync.net snapshots are immutable: you can browse them but there is no way to delete them without contacting support (and the CEO once posted he would review every such request). It makes me feel more confident about my backups if someone got hold of the cached credentials from my backup software.

This seems related to Conscious Realism and the conscious-agent thesis:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.0057...

Both articles address the combination problem. However, the one I linked to goes into more detail about it and in fact addresses two separate combination problems:

“The first is the combination of phenomenal experiences, i.e., of qualia. [...] The second problem is the combination of subjects of experiences.”
Hm, that's accelerationist logic, wanting iOS to collapse to opposing things that would improve iOS for real world users.

The downside is that if the brinkmanship fails and iOS doesn't collapse, then the primary outcome is just that iOS users are worse off for no obvious gain.

> oxygen-rich atmospheres probably indicate life

Is it though? We only have one example of "life" and that is an oxygen based form. Supposing all forms of life are similar is something I consider unproven.

It might be more accurate to say an "unusual" planetary chemistry is indicative of an unusual process, which might include life. But then the question is: How many planets are there with unusual chemistry? I think we are far from observing this - the many planets we now suppose to exist are only just being discovered, starting with the largest, the hottest, and the nearest.

In an acquisition, the acquirer will have full access to source code and may look for open source violations during technical due diligence. They may then use any violations to squeeze the valuation and/or demand remediation, either of which is a real cost to the company being acquired. It’s not in court, but is is a routine situation that does not require a whistleblower, where the violations are relatively easy to identify.
Heh...back when I was taking an Intro to Linux class for my CS degree, the instructor was teaching us rsync, and he somehow accidentally nuked his entire home directory.

My lesson I took away from that was to not use rsync because it's too easy to get it wrong and lose a lot of data.
Also much less useful.

Browsers have put in patches for Spectre. I turned off Spectre and Meltdown in my OS because I wasn't willing to live with the performance hit for a scenario that is unlikely to befall me.

Your last paragraph is something that IS being addressed by this charity. I'm not sure if you think they literally had dollar bills to apes, but they have a number of different programs addressing different aspects of 'saving' apes.

Like, what is this?

"In this case, they steal money from working humans and give it to a bunch of gorillas who should have been left alone in the jungle in the first place."

Receiving donations is not stealing, and the entire point of protecting gorillas is that they aren't being left alone.
The most common reason I would have variable shadowing in my code is that I'm dealing with optional values.

e.g. (Scala)

def greeting(name: Option[String]): String =
name match {
case Some(name) => s"Hello $name"
case None => "Welcome, stranger"
}

I could call the input parameter something like optionalName or maybeName to avoid shadowing but I dislike repeating type information in the variable name.

I genuinely wonder what all the people defending infringements on Bezos's "right" to profit from elastic (for instance) are thinking.

If it's open for you but not for him what's your problem?
Correct. The storage arrays themselves have a (modest) ruleset which, among other things, locks them to TCP22 only and disallows broken/impossible things like xmas-tree packets.

Simple stuff.
Lots of things are "only guessing." Auto color correction is only guessing. Unsharp mask is only guessing. Smart selection is only guessing. Content-aware fill is only guessing.

They're still useful tools to have in your toolbox as a photographer or designer, even for critical tasks, and I don't really see how this is different. There may be certain failure cases, but everything has failure cases.
Robotics last far less than humans do though. Last year there were literal forest fires in CA because we can't figure out how to hang power cables without succumbing to corrosion from a measly 100 years span. If we want to make arguments about longevity, we could maybe look at microorganisms, but my understanding is they are similar to us in the sense that they thrive where it's conducive for any given strain to thrive, but die where it's not.

Even that is frequently (and often wilfully) misinterpreted.

The dictatorship of the proletariat is contrasted to the current dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. It just means that workers are collectively the ruling class in socialist countries, as opposed to owners (of capital) in capitalist countries.
From what I remember Koch and Tononi measure consciousness in Phi ( and phi is complexity) I remember a conversation at Towards a Science of Consciousness conference about this. If Phi is measured in complexity you could make a glass window complex and that is conscious.

Also during Tononi's talk a guy walked through the isle and said something along the lines of 'Phi is the answer, Phi is god, Tononi is our savior'

50 lines for configuration of a blog is not what I'd have personally called "simple". Granted GUIs (e.g. AWS console as mentioned in the blog) are not as easy as an config file, the comparison should be against other blog deployment programs, like hugo/jekyll/ghost, not.. the AWS console.
Maybe it was easy for you to modify your OS to continue updating, or you downloaded some ISO of Catalina someone else pre-hacked for you - but it was certainly a non-trivial effort for whoever figured out how to trick the OS into installing and/or updating.

It just seems like wasted effort, since the company all this supports really has made it clear they do not want you to have this ability, and can at any moment make future updates break everything all over again, leading to a new effort to reverse engineer the changes.
I would recommend Llinás book "I of the Vortex" which explains a pretty interesting reason for the existance of "consciousness". Also Wittgenstein has some thoughts about it too.

(I'm a mathematician)

Honestly, not that many people in math think about the construction of the natural numbers frequently. Yeah, we learn about it of course, but that's about it. Very often the natural numbers do not include 0. Often they do. I've seen $\mathbb Z_{\geq0}$ and $\mathbb Z_+$ used to avoid having to worry about it.

Hell, different countries can't even agree on whether 0 is positive. In France, 0 is considered both positive and negative. In USA, 0 is considered neither.

(quick edit: I realize my last paragraph makes the $\mathbb Z_+$ option seem weird. I do math in the States.)
> Here's a compelling irrefutable argument.

That argument isn't irrefutable at all - let's break it down.

> Scenario 1 & 2 it can't be refuted that artists should be paid for the stream.

Agreed.

> [Scenario 3 & 4] So here, not all streams can be considered equal, since some had higher probability to be present in the playlist due to inherent algorithm biases.

Disagree on the implication here - I don't see why it irrefutably follows that an artist should be paid less for these listens just because its in an automatic playlist (assigned because it matches the same profile as a record I previously liked). What you have here is an opinion, not an irrefutable argument.

My personal opinion is that if you have a streaming service, a minute paid for a minute listened is about as fair as a metric you can get.

Why are my listens, which are mainly from automatic playlists based on my historical listening, less valuable than someone else's listens, just because they listen to cool obscure bands not on the playlists?

Some of the folks ended up being the principals at XMOS (a play on words of InMos), which still has a vaguely transputer-ish design.

As well, there is the KROC compiler which allows a variant of the Occam programming language to be run on Linux, OS X and I think Windows. (Mentioning this in case anyone wants to play with the concepts without having a transputer).
What are you talking about ? I had a problem with Gradle failing to work with OpenJDK a while ago [1] and the solution was to downgrade.

We literally had software in production that wouldn't work when you upgraded the JVM and their official documentation said it wouldn't work if you updated and you were unsupported (and IIRC downgrading was also a PITA) - this was in JVM 5 -> JVM 6 days which AFAIK was a big change (TBH I don't know back then I didn't do app development I did system integration).

I'm not sure how you are coming to the conclusion that I take no responsibility. The whole point of my post is that I am not good enough. That's a pretty damning criticism of the self. I only blame others in the sense that they highly contributed to me not being able to see that. If all my takeaways were personal, I would have no reason to post this.

My read is that it's via something very similar to Reed-Solomon erasure coding. Think of the old Usenet parity file approach. "Here are 100 files. You need 80 of them in order to reconstruct the file." Spread those throughout multiple facilities and you're basically there.

What's up is that large companies started abusing the open source licenses to benefit themselves at the expense of open source communities. All it took was one jerk ignoring the spirit of open source and exploiting open source projects to the maximum extent that was legal under the old licenses. It's not hard to guess who it was either.

It's a good lesson. As soon as one person cheats or violates the spirit of a system, everyone else has to too or they'll fall behind. Unethical people ruin everything.

As far as I can tell, both are common, but “white space” is more common as a synonym to negative space, and “whitespace” is more common to refer to the characters. If so, the “white-space” property controls whitespace, not white space.

I wonder if they have any sales to large enterprises or similar institutions.

In my experience, the larger organizations will have a "security" questionnaire required of their vendors, and the person administering it is a droid, incapable of evaluating whether the questions, originally written in the mid-00s and only updated for buzzword compliance since, are applicable to modern security practice today, or to the particular product/service/vendor in question. And no firewalls or routers would be massive, disqualifying red flags on such a questionnaire.

Never mind that a KISS setup tends to bring security because of its minimized attack surface. In the minds that write and administer those questionnaires, security only comes from sufficient amounts of the right kinds of complexity.

I'm sure it can be done. IIRC, Cloudflare doesn't use any firewalls, and they do some big business. It just isn't easy to get past the droids programmed to ensure that all pegs shall be properly square, IME.
I'm not sure those reasons really apply to their case.

Especially since they're running the boxes that it's connected to.
