those are services, not mobile os that is was i was refering to.. so that is beside the point i was making..

sure they do not allow third-party stores, but they also do not exclude you to use their store to sell your apps..

for the people complaining about not being able to use their own apps without dev account.. not allowing people to hurt themselves is a design choice for apple, if you want flexibility go android..

also third-party stores is a two edge sword, it allow user more control but also allow you to harm yourself more..

this is why android is a shit show of malware while in ios this is much less of a problem, although to be far it does happen from time to time..

apple will just use the card that third party stores harm their users.. and that you can just use their app store.. that is why they do not allow third party stores and likely never will..
Your link is dead for me. Maybe you wanted to link to this? https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box

Hetzner is throttling bandwidth after traffic exceeds ~5x the storage capacity while rsync.net doesn't seem to. Hetzner also only supports a very small number of snapshots in total while rsync.net supports more per day.

I don't think Hetzner and rsync.net are really competing with each other. rsync.net's focus is more on business customers, while Hetzner targets private customers.
The problem is the perceived risk, for many people getting COVID is avoidable if they take precautions, while the scenario of willingly take a vaccine that can result in death is way more darker.

A lot of young people won't even find the "relief" they got from knowing COVID is more lethal on the elderly, since this seems to be happening on younger females.

It's not an easy problem to fix, and I see a lot of people refusing this until they get to the bottom of the reason, a safe treatment for these cases. I'd say this will probably be the end of the road for AZ vaccine in a lot of places.

Not to mention the pile of fuck-ups AZ did for months in a row, they painted themselves as unreliable and liars to the public.
I have saved on hard drive, pretty much all linear media I have watched the last 15 years (recorded TV). It takes up ~25Terra. Most of it is in SD, some of it is in HD, pretty much nothing is in 4K. With a 1Gbit connection I'm not bandwidth bound, I'm storage bound. 120TB for a single drive is a lot, but I could see myself being in striking range of using that.
There appears to be a recent trend of YC companies being increasingly "meta" plays. The increasing number of "startups for startups" worries me, it's a leverage against the success of startups. It will increase the upward and downward slope of the startup market. Leverage leads to bubbles, and bubbles burst

Note: This product looks great, I will probably use it, my comment is not intended to disparage taloflow specifically.
Counter point: There's a lot of delusional engineering managers that say they want to be "hands-on", but that's not in the best interest of the team. They are either not top notch coders, or they can't juggle all the work. What they're doing is being selfish, because they don't want to be a manager, they want power and money. They need to grow up and do what they signed up for.
I don't remember if any damages were awarded, but I do remember that the infringing software were all removed from the market when SCUMMVM sued Atari for releasing Nintendo Wii games using their game engine without sharing anything at all.

Atari of course got stuck in a bad situation then, if they complied with GPL they would breach Nintendo NDA, so their choice was just stop selling the products in question entirely, so I must assume the lost sales were smaller than the potential damage if they were found guilty of copyright infringement.
> There isn't any gain for home networking. The gain is for enterprise applications that can now migrate a software-defined network to a completely different infrastructure provider without having to change the way they do monitoring, log collection, storage provisioning, DNS migrates with it for free, etc.

It sounds like you're making the argument that deploying k8s for a startup is an extreme case of premature optimization.
Thats not how the definition of RCE works. Under your silly logic every piece of server/client software is a "RAT". To be honest I feel like you're trying to speed run ur way to the Attrition Hall of Charlatans
Given the long-term span of evolutionary biology, and the short-span of human civilisation, example based on humanity are short-sighted. Many would assume "post-human" existence that escape the trappings of biology, e.g. even now we have a non-biological presence on Mars, in the form of a robotic lander; perhaps in a couple 1000 more years humans can settle wherever we can build functioning machinery capable of supporting AI.

In these "post-singularity" times it's hard to speculate.
The servo signals are written using special equipment (a precise head/servo mechanism, not the regular HDD heads).

You can see them in this magnetic image - the whole 25% to 75% of the image is the servo signal area. The tracks are seen on the bottom 20%, top 80%:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aufnahme_einzelner_M...

Bottom to top:

- sync (the regular lines)
- positional track number, gray encoding (irregular lines)
- track fine tune (the block trio)
- fine track ID

After fine track ID is read correctly, the position is deemed correct, the RX head is turned off, and the TX head is turned on. This is the rx-tx gap. Then track data starts.
There are a lot of alternative bike geometries that go a lot faster than the standard bike position. They reduce wind resistance and/or have better biomechanics. The lack of change has more to do with Union Cycliste Internationale rules than with optimization.
Every Pennsylvanian who lives by the New Jersey border knows about jughandles and how absolutely ridiculous these things are. We also know about the idiocy that is the New Jersey traffic circle. Do not get these abominations confused with the modern roundabouts because they're nothing alike.

So arbitrage it for money. This is the future that threatens need for centralized power. Get a smart washing maching to run Linux. Buy cycles (pun) when it's idle.
I love linters and formatters. Often languages carry baggage and other “bad parts” that linters help you avoid.

For someone who’s not used to them they might feel annoying (e.g. why should I wrap every $() in quotes?! Ugh) but once you accept them your code will be a million times better and safer.
Not having data encrypted by default is concerning, however I do admire the simplistic approach of handling your own dataflow and tools for sure.
If interested in this kind of thing, I always recommend Issac Arthur. He describes the Fermi Paradox and related concepts 100x better than anyone else.

Some relevant ones:
The Fermi Paradox Compendium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDPj5zI66LA

Fermi Paradox: The Dyson Dilemma v2.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfuK8la0y6s

I believe he would say that there is no really good explanation to why we don't see other intelligent civilizations except that we are effectively the first (at least in our galaxy), and intelligent space-faring life is exceedingly rare. This is a similar conclusion to Robin Hanson here, but I think I think Issac Arthur does a better job of deeply explaining it. I think both would agree though.
A large part of it is that commercial use involves sharing files with other people. It's very hard to get constant results if you are not using the same software. The file formats are mostly propriety and complex. The effects applied are dynamic and probably also propriety. It's just a mess, so everyone just puts up with it and continues to use "the standard" software.

If you are just doing graphic work yourself, there are other applications like Affinity that can work, as long as you are not collaborating.

Maybe chroot is not the right solution, but having unprivileged containers/jails natively supported (not docker/systemd-containerd overlay) sounds useful.
I hear you, but my experience is that increases in capacity (be it storage, processing, network, etc.) bring new possibility, new technology, and new use cases.

Here are some off-the-cuff possibilities:

"Photos" that are interactive "spaces" composed of combinations of many high-resolution images and (LI/RAY)DAR point clouds.

"Videos" that are the same or far beyond 8k

Individuals using constant-capture systems to archive their day-to-day, providing the ability to "never forget." This could be supplemented with local capture and storage of extensive biometric data for personal-health analysis.

Amazing graphics / texture sets to locally provide standard libraries for very high resolution AR / VR experiences.

Local archives of reference and web content so that it can be browsed privately to ensure privacy.

A general push-back against cloud storage in favor of local privacy. This might be powered by some federated system that allows individuals to give up some local storage in exchange for storage on other's systems.
And indeed, Amazon forked Elasticsearch from the last open-source version and is continuing independent development.
Other people are always impacted by our decisions. That's just the world we live in. Damn near everything you do affects the people around you in some way.

Do the people around alcoholics consent to that?

At some point the risks/reward of various behaviors (let alone the substances that enable them, you don't see people scrambling to ban belts because people hit their kids with them) are such that legislating away things with varying degrees of state violence to back it up isn't worth the tradeoff.

RE my earlier question I’d really appreciate it if you could provide more insight into this.

So far I’ve been building MVPs in Django ( quick and easy) CRUD mainly, trying to improve copy writing, building better communication skills ( being more succinct), learning about SEO ( evergreen for marketing) and building paid marketing campaigns through FB. What else would you suggest?
Yes, exactly. thanks for expressing this better.

Oh I'm pretty sure there is a firewall configured on the nodes themselves (customers get shell access) and he just meant that there isn't a separate firewall box in front of the servers.
The biggest problem with airless tyres is that bumps on the road cause localised pressure changes whilst pneumatic tyres distribute those pressure changes around the wheel. In practise this means that you feel more of the bumps and for big potholes you can end up damaging the rim. There's also the problem of energy loss as part of the tyre is compressed - with pneumatic tyres you only really have the outside of the tyre that is deforming and so they have less rolling resistance.

When I tried airless tyres (a long time ago though) the ride felt very "dead" and I haven't bothered with them since.

Tubeless however - that's the best ride performance that I've tried and you very rarely get punctures that the sealant doesn't fix.

The actual weight of the tyres won't make a huge amount of difference (i.e. the rotational mass) as it only really affects accelerating which is much less common than simply maintaining your speed.
ScaleMP, SGI UV, and HP Superdome all disagree with you. Arguably, plain old RDMA qualifies under this phrasing.
I see this movement as a necessary evolution. Open source isn’t for everyone, however, source available could be.
k8s also has a first-party typescript API.
"How are personal files being handled? Is encryption being used? Are you able to access this data using a shared key?"

We give you an empty UNIX filesystem. So, if you push up files over rsync or sftp, they will sit here unencrypted.

However, there are now excellent "tools like rsync that encrypt the remote result with a key rsync.net never sees" - chief among them being 'borg'[1]. Other options include duplicity and restic - all of which transport over SFTP.

So it's up to you and you have total control. If you want ease of use and you want to browse into your account (or one of your immutable daily snapshots[2]) and grab a file over SFTP you probably don't want to encrypt everything on this end.

On the other hand, if you want a totally secure remote filesystem that is nothing but encrypted gibberish from our standpoint, you should use 'borg'.

"Are you able to access this data using a shared key?"

We are running stock, standard OpenSSH and you can, indeed, use an SSH keypair to authenticate with. In fact, you have a .ssh/authorized_keys file in your account so you can specify IP restrictions and command restrictions as well ...

" ... how will you be able to recover from physical failure if you only appear to be serving from a single location?"

A standard rsync.net account has no replication. We are the backup and your account lives in, and only in, the specific location you choose when you sign up. However, for 1.75x the price (ie., not quite double) we will replicate your account, nightly, to our Fremont, CA location.[3]

"As a sidenote, what keyboard are you using?"

Hey omarhaneef that's great feedback.

With regards to SaaS besides project management and document management what are some categories where you find picking tools the most cumbersome?
There are millions, if not billions, of Android phones with manufacturers that go out of their way to prevent users from rooting their phones or putting custom ROMs on them. There are millions, if not billions, of Android phones that will never run a user's choice of ROMs, and millions more are produced each year.

Not only that, Google prevents competition in the mobile app distribution market, too, because user installable 3rd party app stores cannot implement automatic upgrades, background installation of apps, or batch installs of apps like the Play Store can.

I think the problem here is that your side projects aren't really that fun.

It's not that fun to read a complicated, dense book.

It's not that fun to learn a language, in fact it's one of the hardest things for your brain.

It's not that fun to make a personal web site that's basically going to end up being a LinkedIn profile.

For me, I do have a side hobby. I built a tool to make grids of peoples' photos into posters that I sell on Etsy, things like people's photos of them visiting each national park. It's a weird hobby but the fact that I'm actually selling something was a big motivator for me. I love making sales -- even though I've done less than $100 total so far.
I'm not trying to 'convince' you of anything. I'm pointing out that bioreactors still need growth media, and it can still be egg-based.
Colocation isn’t a binary on-or-off thing. As a crappy example, Kubernetes pods maintain the invariant that all containers within a pod exist on the same Kubernetes node. So you can avoid the most egregious waste of resources/time that comes from having no collocation.

To your point, when talking to your db or [insert shared infra here], then you may want to thinking about real collocation. But it very much depends on your application’s needs - and remember that cloud providers can offer guarantees about which AZ or region you’re in.

You're spreading misinformation and could get other people addicted. You're making assumptions on my diet just to dismiss the well-known fact that nicotine is addictive[1]. Most sites that say otherwise are either social media sites like reddit where echo chambers form, or they're obviously pro-ecig and extremely biased.

i hope they keep that bug locked down. if that was weaponized there would be an issue for sure.
But why wouldn't I just run a database migration as part of my CI flow? I don't understand why I would add a persistent element to my Kubernetes cluster for just a one-off task, since Jobs do not actually automatically remove themselves from the cluster. And as far as I know, you can't even reuse the already created Job, so if I want to migrate the database again, I need to make it from scratch.
Mostly true, but only up to an extent: without a CLA, they can't just update LICENSE.txt to replace the contents with the text of the new license and be on their merry way without any trace of the old one.

They can't hide the fact that it was once MIT/BSD/Apache licensed, and they still have to include copies of that original license (and any notices) even after the switch, as that is one of the conditions that contributors make their work available under, and failure to do so would mean the org is in violation if they haven't otherwise received approval.
If there anything that Audactity can do which blender can not ? I plan to learn video editing using blender and don't want to learn another tool if blender can do everything Audactiy does.
Except we can already achieve that kind of IOPS increase: by simply using two hard drives in parallel (be it RAID0, or even RAID1 if your driver is willing to split the reads between hard drives).

A multi-actuator drive isn't really "one hard drive" anymore, its really just two hard drives ganged together. While more physically convenient, it doesn't seem to really offer the true 2x increase we're looking for.

Actuator#1 cannot give more IOPS over the data that Actuator#1 is assigned over. You only get more IOPS if you can split the work between the two actuators. Same problem as RAID0 or RAID1 multi-read hard drives (you gotta figure out a way to "split the work" to get RAID0 truly 2x the IOPS).

rsync.net was the first storage provider to support Borg out of the box and also has a special tier for Borg users (which was later expanded for restic and some others iirc).

I also like that their Europe location is in Switzerland. I think it's useful for a number of reasons to store critical data in more than one jurisdiction.

I ultimately decided wrestling wasn't for me, but I did appreciate this part of it. there were quite a few matches in highschool where some scrawny kid got matched against one of the "athletic" types. often turned out to be quite the upset if the scrawny guy had actually been paying attention to the coaches.
Developing Commercial Product from Open Source Technology
These are prescription though :)
I see there's an in-app purchase. Are any of the features limited by this? The site doesn't seem to mention it.
Of the top of my head reasons why both things can be true at the same time:

1. "All other things equal" applies to productivity pool.

A happier person or a more flexible thinker might gain productive hours.

2. With hobbies you (probably) have to do everything by yourself.

At work you can lean on others for decisions, graphic design, frontend/backend and other things that might drain you more (because its not your expertise)

3. As others have said: Hobbies are optional

Which probably affects you eventhough you _might_ still have productivity-reserves

4. Work is SO much more than 100% productivity.

Meetings, social time, administration, clean-up, etc... might be things you can do while not 100% focused.

And as others have said, everyone will be better off if you start valuing outcome, employee happiness, and other things as well.

It comes of as kindoff entitled to presume that all personal productivity it something that you as an employer have "lost".

Also, the entire semantics are a bit strange. When I'm deciding whether I want text to line wrap, I don't really think about whether the whitespace should wrap. Yes, whitespace is somewhat relevant to the topic, since that's one option of where to break lines in order to line wrap, but I still think of it as the entire text that is line wrapping.

Oh, and don't forget that there is in fact a word-wrap property, which is a much better name for the previous behavior, but in fact only customizes how the line-breaking algorithm determines which words can be broken apart.
After using k8s for about a year at work now, the way I understand it is that there’s a really large gap in abstraction between “a bare metal machine or VM with a shell prompt” and “a service that handles requests with some Python code”, and kubernetes helps fill that gap with some sane defaults and useful abstractions for people who run services.

If you run your docker app on kubernetes, you get a lot of things for free with the platform (rolling no-downtime deployments, service discovery, auto scaling) that you’d have to set up manually if you were running your service on (say) EC2 instances instead.

It can be a headache to learn sometimes, but ultimately saves a lot of effort if your use case fits!

In the case of my pair they mostly ignore each other - brother and sister pair - they played together when they where young and they aren't aggressive, they just rotate opposite ends of whatever room they are in.
What do you mean by "drop it"? I guess I could imagine that a CPU would allow a specific process to disable speculative execution. That could be an interesting feature though I'm skeptical that any real world applications would actually want to opt-out of speculative execution if it makes things drastically.
I attended Bristol Uni's Computer Science department in the late 80s. They had a room of Sun 3s which had transputer cards, which were programmed in occam in a weird folding editor. It was clearly the future, and all programming would look like that in the future (hint, not the one I ended up living in).

I also seem to remember seeing a demo of a mandlebrot set being rendered impressively quickly in parallel on a transputer based machine, which I think was a cube shaped machine. A quick look on the web doesn't throw up any obvious hits though.
