The cyberattack and the fact that one company had 20% of the country's beef processing capacity. A more distributed economy with smaller operators means fewer, less valuable targets for piracy, as well as more supply chain resilience when one company is taken offline.

The first step is reliable backups. Preferably to write-once media. And both onsite and offsite. Hard backups aren't expensive.

Not of everything. Just the important stuff. Maybe a snapshot of the whole business once a month in addition to transaction backups.

Any business doing financial transactions should be backing them up to something like Blu-Ray disks. Preferably the blanks with the 1000-year lifetime. US banks are already required to do something like that, by the FDIC.
If available, sparkling water with lemon. Another commenter mentioned bitters, I plan to add that. They’re fine as long as the incredibly tiny alcohol amount won’t cause any issues.

If that isn’t available, some sort of soda or tea or coffee. Or, just water. No one really cares, though to be polite to the bar you’re at it’s good to try to buy something.

Sure, but those don't typically warrant telling anyone right? I mean "our email server just sent a zillion spam messages, we're working on it." would largely go under the radar I suspect.

It's a terrible idea that's why.

It comes with far more(&more dangerous) downsides than upsides.

It's a rookie mistake for simple applications which most people learn to not do.

I am not sure. I think the bundling of content might have a positive side effect:

I think there is a lot of content that people love to consume (cat videos, food porn, sports, etc.), even if it is not particularly “worthy”, and vice versa content that is important or worthy, and that you might want to have (even if you don’t always want to actually consume it!), such as deep investigative journalism exposing misdeeds of the powerful, operas, what have you.

With bundles, like The Economist or any other newspaper, or TV channels, you can support or cross subsidise the latter with the former.

With micro payments, not sure that would work. It might lead to more clickbait.

It’s a bit like in the experiment where you could preorder your food at the work canteen for the entire week - people would pre-order a nice balanced healthy diet, while when you make the choice every day, you end up with pizza most days.

Or how people would buy the Encyclopaedia Britannica for home for a substantial amount, and then rarely if ever use it.

However, one thing in favour of micropayments versus ads: they allow you to support an article without having to read it…

TLDR: subscriptions and bundles might allow “the better angels of our nature” to support better and more valuable content than micropayments or ad financing.

Brisket prices have been going up for quite a while now, not least since the pandemic started. This event is likely going to be a blip. That said, typically one of the ways to hedge against volatile prices is through forward contracts. If you have a float, have you thought about pre-paying for brisket to get a discount? I only mention this because I remember reading a story told by Nick Kokonas, who co-owns Alinea, a famous 3 Michelin starred restaurant in Chicago. When he discovered he had a float, he decided to pre-pay his vendors instead of taking net 120 and in the process got a 50% discount on beef. (because pre-paying improved his vendor's cashflow and reduced their risk, they passed it back to him in the form of savings)

From: https://commoncog.com/blog/cash-flow-games/

"Food costs money. But the way that everyone (in the F&B industry) looks at food costs, and paying for food is very weird. When COVID started, every famous chef that went on TV said, “This is the kind of business where this week’s revenues pay for bills from a month ago.” So when we started to bring in money from deposits and prepaid reservations, I suddenly looked and we had a bank account that had a couple million dollars in it — of forward money

"I started calling up some of our big vendors for the big, expensive items — like proteins: meat, fish; luxury items: like caviar, foie gras, wine and liquor, and I said, “I don’t want net-120 anymore, I want to prepay you for the next three months.” And they had never had that kind of a phone call from a restaurant before.

So how much should they discount it? So let’s say we’re going to buy steaks. We’re going to pay $34 a pound wholesale for dry aged rib-eye, we get net-120 (normally). So I call the guy and say “I’m going to use 400 pounds of your beef a week for the next 4 months, for our menu, which is about about $300,000 of beef, what (would) we get, if we prepay you?” And he was like “what do you mean?” I’m like “I want to write you a check tomorrow for all of it, for four months.” And he was like, “Well, no one has ever said that.” So he called me the next day, he said “$18 a pound” … so … half. Half price.

I went, “I’ll pay you $20 if you tell me why.” And he said, “Well, it’s very simple. I have to slaughter the cows, then I put the beef to dry. For the first 35 days I can sell it. After 35 days there’s only a handful of places that would buy it, after 60 days, I sell it $1 a pound for dog food.” So his waste on the slaughter, and these animals’s lives, and the ethics of all of that, are because of net-120! Seems like someone should have figured this out! As soon as he said that, everything clicked, and I went “We need to call every one of our vendors, every time, and say that we will prepay them.”
Thank you! Your post about D without its runtime is a fantastic read.

>We cannot learn anything about aliens until we find them"

>The above statement might sound reasonable, and intuitive, but it lacks justification. Standing on its own, it’s just a piece of dogma.

well let's try the following statement then

1. Most things that are learned about are observed to exist before being studied.

There are rare items of knowledge that are cogitated upon first and found to exist later, but in general things that you learn about will be like most of the things that you learn about - they will be observed as existing and then be studied.
In my country there are middleman companies which own the cars, which might be more effective to maximize the uptime of the vehicle. Maybe this is what the article refers to?
Does BK separate its griddles and fryers between vegetarian and non-vegetarian items? Because if they don't, then meat products will leach animal fats and proteins while they cook and your vegetarian items will pick them up.
Thanks for your response.

I suspect the limitations around digit assistants are due to a lack of an entity graph, and not the ability to communicate.

For instance my doctor allows for bookings via App, and phone. Furthermore, my digital assistants know who my doctor is, but don’t know who my son’s doctor and teacher is.
I had remembered docker's own documentation in the past recommending against using compose at all in production, but that is apparently no longer the case: https://docs.docker.com/compose/production/

I'm fairly surprised by this. You can deploy a fairly similar compose file into a Docker swarm cluster, but if you're doing a single-server deployment of everything, that is awfully brittle for production, to say nothing of considerations brought up in other comments where you may be using managed services from a cloud provider for things like database and caching in production but you're probably just spinning up a local postgres server on your laptop for development.
Same here, docker compose is a great little tool for local development. You can get your apps up and running with their respective elasticsearches and localstacks etc, then attach to process if needed to debug

For anything more serious, Terraform makes much more sense IMHO
Dear diary,

Today, I was finally able to incorporate the "Where's the beef!?!" catch-phrase into daily conversation! But, it just didn't land as funny as I was expecting in my mind.
There are a few reasons why this re-targeting makes sense.

First, I would bet that multiple stores 'know' you searched for a television, while only one 'knows' you purchased one. The stores that don't know you already made a purchase will keep advertising in the hopes that you choose them, and the one you bought from may not have implemented a feature to 'de-target' you, because their conversion rate is low enough that it doesn't cost them much to keep targeting you.

Also, you may return the first one in favor of another, 'better' model; or you may be purchasing for other people or business use.
I have some similar thoughts about this. Take Internet media streaming: am I happier being able to watch any of 10,000 things with no effort, rather than having maybe a couple dozen at hand and the ability, with some time and effort, to acquire one or two more if I really want them enough? Or is the ability to select exactly a certain thing to watch with low effort just scratching an itch that only exists because I can do that, and I'd be exactly as happy watching whatever caught my eye on the public library movie shelf earlier that week? I suspect, for most people, it's the latter. Am I happier with Spotify or whatever, than I would be with a smallish but well-used record collection that I add another entry to only a couple times a year? I suspect not.

Am I better off with 2-day shipping and the easy ability to read the opinions of enthusiasts and experts for any product I have a small interest in, then order it immediately? Does the change in what I buy actually pay off given the extra time-cost of that research, the extra brain-clutter of knowing things about products I'd probably never have though much about otherwise, and the extra money I'm sure I'm spending because of those factors? I kinda doubt it, but it's so damn hard to resist finding out what's the best way to do [thing] or the best product for the best way to do [thing] when you can do that, even if the result is that your life-satisfaction meter doesn't budge versus some hypothetical alternate universe in which, for anything you're not an actual enthusiast about, you just buy whatever looks good out of the selection at a local non-specialty store.

[EDIT] and yes I'm aware I'm dangerously close to realizing that almost everything "good" in life is just removing an irritation that only exists in the first place because of how life is and is structured, and how I'm choosing to respond to life and its typical structure, and then abandoning the material world to become a Buddhist monk or something.
> I have friends leaving their jobs within first few days, better sooner than later.

What kind of jobs? A few days are too few to judge a workplace, I've never seen someone quitting before completing their probation period.
Absolutely. Plenty of America runs on EOL Windows XP legacy apps that have been too complicated to migrate. Sometimes they run airgapped until someone realizes that isn’t practical. CEOs must demand better and be willing to pay for it. Without leadership support these migrations almost always fail.
The idea is that you have a core structure that is used in both local/dev environment and the prod environment, with just the override applying changes. For example, your local override might have the "build" configuration, whereas the dev environment or production environment docker-compose should not have that configuration (assuming you are pulling from a private registry). That single core docker-compose.yml can be copied to any environment it needs and it should just run the app, but if you really, really need to override something for a specific reason, it's not hard to do it without modifying the core docker-compose.yml.
Probably so you don't have duplicate settings in docker-compose.prod.yml and docker-compose.dev.yml when the only difference is probably just 1 line specifying NODE_ENV etc.
There's a continuum of responses existing between "do nothing" and "drop missiles". For example, it'd probably be relatively easy for special forces to assassinate key personnel, even deep within enemy territory.
Just so you know where I'm coming from - I've been vehemently anti lockdown since late April 2020 and still am, I'm generally appalled at the level of mindless obedience to "experts" and "the science" that has been displayed by many people over the past year, and at the enthusiastic embrace of censorship of wrongthink that those same people exhibited. I was also skeptical of taking the emergency vaccines until I did many hours of my own reading, since I'm fairly young and very fit and consider covid to be a fairly negligible concern for my own personal health.

Having said all that, did you fully read your own link? It does mention that the spike protein can cause damage to lung tissue and other things as well. But there's also these two paragraphs which seem extremely relevant, in that they directly contradict the implicit claim you're making that the spike proteins produced in reaction to the mRNA vaccine are dangerous just like the ones on the virus itself:

> The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines produce the full-length spike protein. Pfizer studied several formulations initially, but found that the full length protein vaccine had fewer side effects and was better tolerated than other vaccine candidates, so that is the one they went with. It is also likely that the full protein contains more epitopes (sites for immune activity) and therefore produces more thorough and longer lasting immunity. The proteins, however, are in a fixed state, they are unable to change their confirmation, which is necessary to bind to cells. So they function differently than spike proteins on infecting virus.

> After the Pfizer vaccine full spike proteins are expressed on the vaccinated cells for presentation to the immune system. But the vaccine-induced proteins do not appear to cause any harmful effects. This may be because the vaccine is administered in the muscle, and so muscle cells are the ones taking up the mRNA and making spike proteins. There is a vigorous immune response which neutralizes the spike proteins before they can cause any harm. This is very different from a virus replicating throughout the body.

I firmly believe getting vaccinated is a personal choice so I'm not trying to pressure you. But your concerns seem to be directly called out as unsubstantiated and not backed by evidence according to your own source.
How about Emacs in eVIl mode?
Before seeing the OP video, I've been going on this V60 technique by James Hoffmann.

It's similar. For 30g of grounds, 500g of water. 60g (often closer to 90g if you try to get all the grounds wet) initially before waiting 45 seconds. The another 240g over the next 30 seconds. And then the remaining 300g over another 30 seconds. Simple enough to do every morning.

I'd like to try going with less water in that initial pour, though, to see if I can get a sweeter taste.

Only a matter of time until any industry gets hit. Hospitals have been hit already so it’s not like moral conscience is an important factor.
Using the mouse to highlight text in order to copy/paste it has always been a pain for me. Especially if the text is wider than the screen. I'm constantly highlight too much or too little. For me its way easier to use vim commands to grab the text I want. Its just one small example, but I can say for certain that I'm faster at editing text in vim than I ever was in a Jetbrains or VSCode editor.
In the case of the pipeline disruption, it was reported that the USG disrupted the CCC of the ransomer and their crypto accounts were drained.

I wonder if a similar sort of reaction will happen here or if the attackers will move more quickly?

From a technical standpoint, why was JBS' backup chain a workable solution for JBS and not for the pipeline operator? Was it incompetence on the part of the attacker or just a better defense, or luck?

I think what the poster you replied to may have been referring to is that the marginal cost once the editor is open is roughly zero. If VS Code is being used, a user can hit Ctrl/Cmd-N and have a new empty text field in no time. Similarly, opening a text file is so quick that I can't perceive any passing of time between clicking on it in the file tree and seeing the file open. Perhaps users with slower computers have a different experience?
I've worked at old-school telcos and startups alike.

It was acceptable to bring your own keyboard and mouse to two out of the five companies, other than that, no other hardware was allowed to be brought in. So you are stuck with the monitors provided, with the rest of the hardware that was provided, and while you could bring in limited ergonomic stuff, you were also limited to whatever office furniture was available.

I’m on Apple’s side, and think all three phrasings are fine.

However, I think that “track” sounds much more invasive than personalize. Of course we know they’re the same damn thing, but “personalized” sounds more innocent.
Running docker compose in production is not a good practice from what I understand. The persistence layers, like MySQL or Redis, shouldn’t be managed with local volumes. If you want to do something like this then kubernetes with persistent volume claims would be better, but running databases in k8s can be pretty tricky. Most of the time RDS is the best practice for your DB.
Especially considering that Node has exactly zero interest in compatibility with the web (search for "node atob" if you don't believe me), whereas Deno does, I think Deno should be listed.
The drop implementation could push to a worker queue running in the background.
