Yeah; citation needed. I've never seen an instance of a price increase. I can find multiple forums of people claiming Amazon has never increased prices.

The only instance I can find of any cloud provider increasing prices was once in 2015 when Microsoft did in Europe...and while that led to a flurry of "cloud providers are going to increase prices" blog posts and things, calmer heads noted the exchange rates as the likely reason (and, certainly, the claims that prices would increase across the board never came to pass).

Is there a tool that works something like this:

- mkdir myproject ; cd myproject

- nix-shell-env init # creates an "empty-ish" shell.nix

- nix-shell-env install nixpkgs.whatever # adds dep. to shell.nix

- nix-shell # activate it

So you don't have to learn any Nix-language / nixpkgs ropes, but can still have a viable shell.nix built for your project. I could see that being a nice stepping stone between "nix-shell -p" and "learning the language."
> The report card on globalization thus far is a hollowed out economy in the west with rent-seeking and the profits of globalization floating around in financial assets in a sterile fashion.

These arguments from emotion are, again, so saddening on see on HN. The "report card" of globalization is that the last few decades have been by far the best period to be alive in human history essentially anywhere on the planet.

The economy isn't "hollowed out", the US is a booming & dynamic economy. The US is the second largest manufacturer in the world by a wide margin(unless you consider the EU as a singular entity).

The idea that we've been "sold out" implies things were just fine before those pesky elites and globalists screwed it up. The perception of the US middle class in the mid-20th century is idealized to the point of mythology and has no real basis in reality. If you were suddenly teleported into the 50s you would very quickly wish to come back.

The sort of economically illiterate brand of populism is probably the single greatest threat to the prosperity of this country, not the things that it(falsely) attributes our problems to, like globalism.
No, it means anywhere in the EU for the most part. For example, EU mandates all member states to give workers at least 4 weeks of paid vacation. Many have 5 or 6 weeks, but 4 is the bare minimum.

Nuance in mass communications, especially in high-consequence circumstances, is itself a major risk factor.

Public health in pandemics is all about consistently breaking transmission chains. And even countries with initial or eventual success can remain at risk of resumed high infection rates, as is evident currently in India (doubling daily infections over a week: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/india/), Turkey, Brazil, Poland, Germany, and in parts of the US (notably Michigan, at this writing).

> My understanding is that CPU/GPU per application can make only single draw call in sequential manner.

The limitation you're probably thinking of is in the OpenGL drivers/API, not in the GPU driver itself. OpenGL has global (per-application) state that needs to be tracked, so outside of a few special cases like texture uploading you have to only issue OpenGL calls from one thread. If applications use the lower-level Vulkan API, they can use a separate "command queue" for each thread. Both of those are graphics APIs, I'm less familiar with the compute-focused ones but I'm sure they can also process calls from multiple threads.

US policy entangles US citizens and permanent-residency holders in tax and banking nightmares for years. Often even after a person has renounced their citizenship or residency, banks in other countries will treat them as US tax subjects anyway and impose onerous and privacy-violating reporting requirements. I can’t imagine the USA becoming a popular country for e-residency until its tax policies are more similar to other countries.

I think it’s optimal for society in that society benefits from efficient warehouses.

It’s easy for you to theorize what Amazon can do and what they can’t. Amazon has competitors with warehouses. People can work there.

As consumers we can also demand more. But Amazon is probably the best for workers when compared to their competitors.

Entirely for market segmentation. The ones they allow it on are much more expensive. With this someone could create a cloud game streaming service using normal consumer cards and dividing them up for a much cheaper experience than the $5k+ cards that they currently allow it on. The recent change to allow virtualization at all (removing the code 43 block) does allow some of that, but does not allow you to say take a 3090 and split it up for 4 customers and get 3060-like performance for each of them for a fraction of the cost.
I've used NixOS at home since like 2016. While I haven't used it professionally or for "serious" enthusiast deployments, I don't think I can claim to be a drive-by user. I still insist on using nix-env because it's what all the first-party manuals tell me to do and I don't want to get into a situation where I am experiencing huge pain and the first-party people all tell me "well, that's on you for doing things in a different way".

At least my impression from a while ago is that the actual documentation Nix has seems to be aimed at "drive-by" or at least casusal/entry-level users, and to get the deeper insights that make the whole thing enjoyable, you need to give up on the documentation and just absorb all the details from github discussions, through extensive trial&error, etc.

Choosing not to support said interfaces would be the biggest breakage of userspace in 3 decades of Linux history. Such a course of action is nowhere specified by the people who would be responsible. As best I can see you have constructed it from whole cloth from suppositions that seem to be ill considered.

Edit: To be clear breaking user space is when a change happens in the kernel level wherein software that used to work no longer works because the public interface presented differs. If you have evidence that this is actually going to happen other than your own misunderstandings please link it.

This is a dumb question, but which hypervisor configuration is this targeted towards to.

There's a lot of detail on the link which I appreciate but maybe I missed it.
You are missing the point. You are right about SOP vs. CORS, but the point is, that most clients that are no browsers have no SOP and therefore also don't care about CORS.

So every server, that is not specifically designed to accept connections from browsers, cannot be reached by browser based apps. And that in turn is a serious disadvantage for these apps, because it eliminates a complete class of use-cases.

Yes, if you control both ends you can make it possible, but if you want to build an app that is able to simply connect to any server out there, you will be in trouble.

End of section 2.4 contains this gem, "The manufacturing of ID cards has always been a closed, non-transparent activity, not open to scrutiny even to the manufacturer’s contracting partner – the Estonian state. The personalization protocols and procedures have never beenpublicly documented, leaving the security aspects of this process to bedetermined by the competency of the ID card manufacturer. As described inSection 6.8 of this work, this lack of supervision oversight allowed the ID cardmanufacturer to engage in activities that compromised the ID card securitywithout it being detected for years."

Card personalization is the bootstrapping problem, and there is another one with potentially hostile readers creating DoS conditions. I've worked on ID cards and digital identity in a few areas in both private and public sectors, and the threat model basically disappears into a cloud of spooky agencies, and it comes out the other end as a vague consensus to just move forward. If you think voting machines are unreliable you haven't seen anything until you've looked into digital identity, as it's a massive host of unresolved political problems tossed over the fence onto technologists, and then laundered back through opaque entities like the ones in this doc, then presented as a good idea.

My impression of identity is it's not a technology problem, but there are lots of people who will take your money to let you say that it is.
Anyone who doesn't want higher wages or better working conditions isn't defining their self-interest very rationally. And anyone who doesn't believe the union is the best way to get there is probably being persuaded by anti-union propaganda rather than sound arguments.
Regarding union leadership, there are union employees who are paid out of dues. My experience with them was similar to a pointy-haired boss in that they were not very helpful and it was frustrating to know that my dues would pay for these individuals to just exist and not produce value.

It may not be rational as maybe they did great stuff and I couldn’t see their value, but I would see them get high salaries compared to workers and serve in positions for very long terms.

Wow, thanks for that glimpse into the past. Really fascinating how it always sounds the same "if it's a scam how come I've been making money" and "they've been doing this for 9 years so if it was a scam it would've collapsed by now". Until the wheels come off, nobody can talk the shills out of it. Or even tell whether they believe what they're saying or just trying to lure others in.
> Most users of anything are drive-by, rather casual users.

On top of this, Nix could be extremely well suited to casual users. It inherently avoids most of the problems that plague casual users of traditional package management tools.

Unfortunately, most of the more serious Nix contributores I have interacted with are in too deep to see the usability problems. Even worse, usability issues get trivialized, and users who ask for basic improvements get talked down and told they just aren't getting the magic of Nix.

His voice, his aggressive style, his sometimes (extremely) disturbing lyrics followed by confessions of his struggles. Dude had a very troubled past and got caught up in addiction. I was really hoping his reappearance on the scene recently meant he would get clean, but sadly, that did not happen in time. Seeing videos of him in recent years is so sad, dude was very damaged from the addiction (particularly the video of him trying to use Google).

As far as glorifying that gangsta image, that's what he grew up in, so that's what he rapped about. It's a reality for these guys. No sane listener supports those depraved acts.

If you wanna see a happy ending to a similar story, check out Gucci Mane. Was in a similar position to DMX (in and out of prison, addiction, etc... though I don't think he was doing crack) but got clean and turned his life completely around. Great example of a person that promoted that lifestyle, and now is an inspiration to people in similar circumstances.

Sure, I can appreciate that native support for a feature like this is nice.

As I understand it, most implementations (including another one for bitemporality[1]) involve either audit tables, as you mention, and/or additional support columns. It's as if the "now" representation is simply a narrowed view within the full set of underlying, (bi)temporal data.

That said, PostgreSQL encodes and has battle-tested decades of database functionality, including a surrounding ecosystem, so I'd be a little wary of switching technology even if it does solve one individual problem thoroughly. Everything has to start somewhere, though.

I've tried desk treadmills with a standing desk, bike desks which are designed for a laptop and under desk pedalers like this.

There's a huge misconception that eating vegan is expensive. Vegan diet staples are dirt cheap. Legumes are absurdly inexpensive, especially when compared with meat.

If we take what you said as fact it means that the "OS layer" is more standardized and more compatible between platforms. It means that we have a common target that works for both FOSS users (FF/Chromium on linux) and for closed platforms (Edge on Win, Safari on OSX) and even the two large mobile platforms. In that way it levels the playing field and gives FOSS platforms a better chance.

How many of the people who daily drive linux today do you think could have if the web was only a text/document consumption platform? At least in the group of people I know it would be far less.
