This is such a strange take. It's always simpler to have a single repo rather than multiple repos, especially if using something like SVN or P4 where you can easily clone or branch a single directory. So regardless of how you develop and how easily you can use latest vs known-safe builds, there may just not be any down-sides to a monorepo, depending on your VCS.

What real-world problem does this product solve that would justify such level of investment?

I'm personally horrified by the idea of another geolocation standard in data--it's already a pain dealing with addresses, lat/long, UTM, et cetera, not to mention various representation standards of same. I burned a half day on this exact issue for a data visualization demo last week, so perhaps my antibodies are more current than usual.
I'm sorry to hear that. You might want to look into high dose IV Vitamin C injections for solid tumors (which have the oppposite effect of oral Vitamin C).

I am inclined to agree with the others than a technological solution is not likely what you need. The trick is to segregate these areas mentally, so that you are acutely aware of when you are "on forbidden ground". The "rubber band" trick has been mentioned here already, and it's based on helping to re-enforce that awareness. Technological solutions can help do this. Timer apps that give you a regular notice to "GTFO THE PHONE FOR 15 MIN NOW" for example, are building the same kind of awareness, just as a software tool to do so.

In my case these bad habits predate the iPhone's existence. What we call phone addiction now was the "Internet addiction" of 15 years ago. Some strategies that have helped me, I think:

One: The phone never comes to bed with me. It never comes out in real-life social interactions either.

Two: During the day I keep it physically separate from me if possible. In my drawer at work. Just on the table on the other side of the room here at home right now. Checking it requires physically standing up and walking over. More likely this will percolate up into conscious awareness.

Following from that, stand when you're on the phone. Don't sit down and slump and relax.

Three: Purge all the dopamine-ticklers. In my case, if you'll excuse the bluntness, that means: No Twitter or other clickbait feeds. No outrage-driven news. No porn. No hookup apps. No endless-browsing online shopping.

Hell, even Hacker News warrants some caution. You're just such a rewarding bunch.

And this is not just on the phone. In all of my life. As a general mental cordon sanitaire. I cross into the quarantined zone often, I must admit, but the key is to be aware, to have a niggling sense of unease, when you're in the danger zone. Check your dosimeter regularly and have a planned exit.

I really wonder what brings someone to design a logo and register a domain name for a site that displays one out of two GIFs, randomly. Is it some kind of "how mesmerized can we make HN" performance art?

The Osprey has a really nasty habit of doing this. A number of them have crash landed upside down from relatively low altitudes, which is a very bad thing.

This could be a steal IF Apollo can fix the management and leadership issues at both companies. There's a real opportunity with both companies - both have pretty high revenues to only go for 5B. If you can cut down on operations cost OR use the ops cost to create more revenue, you can turn garbage to gold. They have a large number of engineers at both companies - I have to believe that with this number of engineers, you can find ways to make money if you get management under control.
Halving the number of envelopes implies halving the revenue. As much of the cost is fixed (dependent on the size of infrastructure such as premises and vehicles, and number of delivery people required to cover a geographical area with sufficient service), this creates a rather impossible equation to solve without any deterioration of service.

A natural way in this situation is to make deliveries less often; we no longer need official letters urgently, except in quite rare exception cases that can probably be covered by parcel delivery services, with tracking (and much higher cost for the small number of deliveries).

Over here, the postal service tries to solve this by arranging deliveries only three times a week, and in future perhaps once a week. I find that quite acceptable. If information needs to reach me faster, it'll come on-line anyway. A week's wait is OK for legacy services where someone wants a piece of physical paper with my signature, written on a pen, on it.
Is there not a better solution for this? We have this baked into our docker builds and it irks me that we have to copy personal credentials into a docker build so we can use git to pull modules and build.
Is everyone actually doing this, or do you setup read-only tokens per private module, or anything else?
One parent serves as redundancy for the other. I don’t know how you did it, but when we had just one baby/toddler, and no other kids or relatives to watch them, one adult is constantly watching the kid, and the other is taking care of household tasks.

The person watching the kid looks like they have spare time, but it’s garbage time because your attention is diverted to the kid every couple minutes or less.

SEEKING WORK | Ensenada, BC, Mexico | REMOTE only

Most recent project since I started looking for more part-time work: https://postaspec.com -- post a spec, receive a demo.

Wrapping up a current part-time cryptocurrency trading startup effort over the next month or so. Looking for something three days a week so that I can continue working on my computer vision learning/experimentation during the rest of the week.

Interested in and/or experienced with these areas:

- Machine learning or computer vision, as long as ownership of my own projects stays separate.

- Some recent experience with Python, AWS and data analysis.

- JavaScript, Reason or BuckleScript. Focused the last several years on JavaScript mainly on the back end and before that mainly on the front end. And although TypeScript is fine, my preference would be to have type inference and the few projects I have done with Ocaml have been enjoyable.

- Recent work with cryptocurrency trading APIs.

- Also have some projects over the years with C++, such as Vintage Simulator (programmable emulator frontend, https://vintagesimulator.com).

- Also experienced with C# but probably prefer to avoid Microsoft stack

- Have done a few IOT-ish projects, one with a Rasp Pi which was a home server (Node.js) with email, storage and other applications, some really nice RGB LEDs which we spent way too long on (used some C/C++ for part of that), and a multiplexing proxy thing. Also a NodeMCU tank robot used Lua mainly with a server/page that used the HTML5 gamepad API to steer the robot.

- Built many relational and NoSQL databases over the years and have made my own time series database for a certain application.

- Created many interactive and non-interactive graphs/graphics with JavaScript as well as Python and some other languages, and created 3D interactive interfaces with JavaScript, C++ and C#.

- Quite a few web and desktop front ends including CRUD

How long do you plan on living?

To give a vaccine to say, an 8 year old child, with no health concerns and excellent natural immunity to a disease (better than say, for seasonal flu), then it stands to reason that you would need so much data to show that the absolute risk reduction was greater than 0 (and not below 0), that the question is barely even worth considering; why not just wait until the child reaches a suitable age, at which point we'd already have the data?
> due to having a “mobile only” bank account I have to have access to my iPhone.

If using your iPhone is a problem for you (and it seems it is), having an account that requires it is a negative. Drop that account and use an account that works with you.

Try keeping track of transactions and balances in a paper register, and reduce checking the online account or phone banking to once a week. In the old days, people would reconcile their account with a paper statement once a month, and that was usually good enough.
Something that worked for me: I bought an Onyx Boox Note, which runs most Android apps. I installed all of my news and social apps on that, and uninstalled them from my phone. When I want to consume content for entertainment, I use that. The e ink screen adds enough friction and takes away some of the stimulation, so it's far less addictive. My phone use has dropped to about 1 hour a day, just for necessary messaging, banks, maps, etc. My e ink tablet usage is probably 2 hours a day or less.

This doesn't really prevent re-installing scroller apps. But if your phone is in your hand less often, and you have another way to check those apps from time to time, you won't have as much temptation to fight.

I also leave my phone around the house instead of in my pocket. I put it on the table, or leave it on a shelf, etc, and forget about it. I also recommend going for a walk every once in awhile and leaving your phone at home.
Why do you think Kubernetes has so much more traction than Nomad? It seems like a general pattern in tech: the more complicated, cumbersome, clunky stuff gets traction while the smooth and well-engineered stuff gets only a niche audience of people who appreciate such things.
I looked up the Census numbers last year, and for my county it's something like 17% of people have no internet access -at all-. Not at home. Not at work. Not even on a cell phone. And this isn't exactly the boonies. It's a county with over a million people in it.

Three percent of people being on dialup sounds low to me.
I looked at some of the numbers on their website, discounting anything they did not show a photograph of. If they are actually getting 91 kg (200 lbf) static thrust with a 75 kW engine, that would be in the low-to-average range for small-airplane propellers at the same power level - quite impressive as a starting point, but such propellers are far from suitable for VTOL (small helicopters seem capable of producing ~450kg (1000 lbf) lift/thrust from that power.)
This is not going to be an easy fix but it is possible since phones are just a recent thing we've gotten addicted to.

First, don't blame your bank for the scroller apps. Those are two things that don't relate. You shouldn't need to lock down your phone to stop it.

Start with why. "why do you want to quit or curb your phone use?" I believe you know this answer to this but write it down on a piece of paper. When you do this, your mind will play it back for you from time to time.

You have an iPhone, download a meditation app. Don't sit down like a yogi and meditate, open the meditation app where you scroll on twitter/ig/amazon, whether that's your couch or your bed. Meditate for 3 minutes, that's it, not more for your first time.

The meditation will be really hard the first few times. It will feel silly too. Get an app where they guide you for meditations, e.g. Calm / Headspace (they are free to use for basic meditation).

Your phone is a powerful tool, and just like any tool, it can be use for helping yourself or harming yourself.

I am happy to guide you through more of this, please feel free to reach out to me me at contact@usman.xyz. I've been through this before, I know what it feels like and I can guarantee you that you'll get out of this!
Or Verizon already knows tracking-based ads are not long for this world and got out before the adtech crash.
The query parameters don't affect which solution is used. They are only used to force the browser to reload the gif from the server each time, bypassing the browser cache. The only thing that determines what maze gif you get is probably some server-side code that chooses between mazes/L40/L40-01.gif and mazes/L40/L40-02.gif with each page load.
That's interesting. I'll add that to my to-do and think about possible solutions. Thank you!

They are putting fancy shaped obstacles in front of the engine exhaust. There is absolutely no way that it is more efficient than direct exhaust down without any obstruction.
"Slightly" is incredibly wrong. Estimates are that it's around 10x as deadly, and that's only counting death, and not the permanent lung damage some survivors are experiencing.
Costco also looks at sales data for competing products (within Costco) and chooses to make house brands of those products.

It's not like Amazon sees sales data from someone's shopify site if people choose to sell on both brand.com and amazon.com.

This is not a one-way sacrifice from poorer countries. Richer, importing countries like the EU, East Asia, North America will pay more for agricultural products if bans like this are imposed.

We need market mechanisms that encourage countries to respect global commons (ie. the capacity of the Earth to absorb our CO2 output).

Countries that do not respect that should be removed from global markets.

We cannot rely on individual retailers, importers, or customers, because they will just orient towards the lowest price, without consideration of environmental impacts. It is clearly a responsibility of Governments to act.
Agree that updating your story/viewpoint with new information is a good trait to have. However, the updating appears to be one-sided (more restrictive/slower re-opening etc.). Why do vaccinated people still need to wear masks and why are outdoor activities being curtained when the evidence is clear they are low risk. Again, the updating of information _appears_ to be one-sided

We're 1.5 people to do ops works, but no one is full time on it, I'm the main responsible and I have someone that helps me when he's interested. We are 5 developers.

Our whole platform is between 10-50 EC2 machines running a Nomad cluster, Nomad manages our Docker containers and with services backed by RDS.

I think managed services were in their infancy when we did our initial research back in 2017/2018, Tectonic+Kubernetes with CoreOS looked promising but they were bought by Red Hat and probably rebranded/merged/disappeared into OpenShift. EKS was in beta an only available in the US (we're in EU).

We did try Rancher but we hit issues with it.

I don't know if K3S existed yet, but just looking at the diagram on their website it does look quite interesting.

We launched Consul first and started defining all of our services, and after that we started moving applications into Nomad.

HA has been quite easy with Terraform on EC2. We build "golden-images" with Packer, and then launch them with Terraform, upgrading Consul is adding 3 new servers, making sure things are stable, and then removing the 3 old servers.
It's not about not wanting to give money to them, it's about not wanting their products injected in to your body. The vast majority of people that get infected with the coronavirus do not get any pharmaceuticals put in to them whatsoever.

>Generally, vaccines aren't in the best interests of pharmaceutical companies.

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. As far as I know, no one has done any long term (10+ year) studies to determine whether people that get vaccines end up using more pharmaceuticals than people that don't get vaccines.
